To truckers and media:
Our members and organizers in the trucking industry have been hearing about the called for April 1, 2008 trucker shut down.
The IWW is not organizing or calling for this shutdown, but supports all truckers taking action to improve their lives and protest the skyrocketing fuel, low pay, unpaid waits and all the other conditions that grow worse by the day.
Truckers unite! Only through organizing a union across the transportation industry can we begin to change this.
The IWW is committed to building a democratic, fighting union in the trucking industry whether you are an independent contractor driver or company driver, intermodal, LTL or over-the-road. Please contact us if you and your co-workers need support or are interested in making trucking a job worth keeping.
