Teamsters Plan April Boycott

One Reporter's Opinion
George PutnamThursday, March 29, 2007
It is this reporter's opinion whether you have a pickup truck or an 18-wheeler, we won a victory on Capitol Hill when a Senate committee voted to block President Bush's "reckless plan" to open the U.S. border to Mexican trucks.
The 1.4 million members of the Teamsters Union led by President James Hoffa were loud and clear in the demand to keep America's highways safe and secure (not to mention union job security).

... environmentalists will be furious when they read a report from California's Air Resources Board stating that 50 tons of new smog (the equivalent of that produced by 2.2 million cars) will be pouring into California's skies daily as a result of 17,500 Mexican trucks crossing into California each day!

. . .

The truckers are mad as hell and they plan to fight back!
A teamsters' boycott is scheduled to take place April 23, 24, 25, truckers from four border states – Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California and beyond.
