Chicago Pressure Mounts as Truck Lockout Enters Fourth Day
Midwest merchants and truck executives face mounting pressure to resolve the strike now in its fourth day. The shutdown idled about 45,000 drivers affecting Chicago and the surrounding Midwest, with Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota reporting layoffs. Illinois Retail Merchants Association president Meek urged Mayor Daley to press state and federal agencies for an immediate settlement, warning Chicago’s role as a central distribution hub could be crippled. Minnesota employers reported over 1,000 trucking layoffs in the Twin Cities as the strike spread.
