May 1, 2006 - All U.S. Ports and Rails; The Community, Truck Drivers, and Students United!
“A Day Without Immigrants”
The March 25 Coalition has made a call for a GENERAL STRIKE for the entire nation to protest against HR 4437 and to show the power if the immigrant community. Los Angeles truck drivers will shut down and are asking for the solidarity of ALL truck drivers across the country. Amnesty for all immigrants!
The right to form labor unions!
An immediate SALARY increase of 25%
The Community and Students have spoken. Now it is our turn. WE have to show what we are worth and demand fair incomes. WE have to begin an era of strikes until the Ports and Rails enter into collective bargaining agreements with us. Until then, we must continue to form collectives at every company and support each other at the terminal, port and national levels. We ask all truck drivers to meet at the ports, rails, truck stops, and usual gathering locations.
