ICYMI: Hundreds of California XPO port truckers have filed for a union election! Drivers have had enough and demand respect, better pay, healthcare, and an end to misclassification. Let XPO know you stand with the drivers and they must recognize their right to unionize!

.XPO made $3.36 BILLION in just 3 months yet drivers have to fight for decent pay & benefits. Bosses make billions while drivers spend more to fill up on gas than they make waiting in line for goods. Enough is enough, time to put drivers first. ajot.com/news/xpo-repor…

.XPO drivers must pay for gas, repairs, & insurance themselves. They spend hours unpaid waiting in line–w/ no food, water, or restrooms provided–to get goods loaded. There is no fixing supply chains without bettering drivers' working conditions. prospect.org/economy/why-tr…

Port truck drivers have had enough and are fighting back! XPO drivers report OWING the company money at the end of a 40-50 hour work week. “It’s modern sharecropping.” x.com/MorePerfectUS/…

As we're left to deal with fallout of the ports backlog, trucking companies are raking in record profits. We have the tools we need to fix the supply chain crisis. It starts with XPO and Universal Logistics respecting drivers’ rights to organize.finance.yahoo.com/video/supply-c…
