The restart of cargo shipments at California's third-busiest port and busiest agricultural export hub created another snarl - traffic jams in and around the port, whose maritime operations contribute an estimated $56.6 billion to the state's economy.
Marine terminals at California's Port of Oakland opened for normal operations on Monday 25 July after port leaders and police ended a week-long independent truck driver protest of the state's new "gig worker" law, which stranded cargo on ships, docks and warehouses and worsened U.S. supply chain snarls.
The restart of cargo shipments at California's third-busiest port and busiest agricultural export hub created another snarl - traffic jams in and around the port, whose maritime operations contribute an estimated $56.6 billion to the state's economy.
Truckers started protesting California seaports after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up a lawsuit from the California Trucking Association on June 30. That cleared the way for the lifting of an injunction that helped stall enactment of the law for more than two years.
The new law would make it harder for businesses that rely on freelance workers, also known as gig workers, to classify them as independent contractors. Protesting truckers said it would force them to shoulder hefty costs previously borne by the companies that hire them to transport loads.
Independent operator Ricardo Gil, 62, said he wanted to continue protesting but didn't want to risk arrest.
"We were very
close to getting what we want," said Gil.
