Misclassified Port Truck Drivers Who Haul Boron From Rio Tinto Mines to Port of Los Angeles Continue Strike

PORT OF LOS ANGELES, Calif. and BORON, Calif. and SALT LAKE CITY and LONDON, Sept. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Port truck drivers employed by NFI Industries’ California Cartage Express (CCX) subsidiary, whom the company illegally classifies as “independent contractors,” walked off the job early Monday morning to protest unfair and illegal discrimination for aspiring to form a union at their employer. Picket lines are extended from the CCX port-adjacent yard in Wilmington, CA, and along the routes of CCX trucks, including at the Port of Los Angeles and the Rio Tinto Mine in Boron, CA, where port traffic is slowing down to a trickle.
