In an effort to try and block the program, the Teamsters along with Public Citizen and the Sierra Club filed suit.
Many safety issues still exist despite assurances by the Department of Transportation has designs of tying in the TransTexas Corridor TTC with these ports. roads under demonstration program is part of the NAFTA commitment. Many ideas and decisions being made dont make lot of sense unless you view them with the understanding that the goal is to further merge Mexico, the and Canada, How else would you account for the lack of immigration enforcement, the push for total amnesty, and open borders.
Mexican long haul trucks being granted full access to the could strain diplomatic relations with Mexico. Teamsters Union spokesperson Leslie Miller said, Just because we have free trade agreement doesnt mean people can come to our country and do business in way that doesnt meet our standards. Mexico lacks any effective safety standards for their drivers or trucks and has no reliable national criminal or driving database. We will continue to fight for safety and national security in the courts and in the Congress.
This demonstration program is part of the James Hoffa stated, They basically want to erase all the borders. Mexican long haul trucks being granted full access to It shouldnt be surprising that benefits to other countries and multinational corporations would come before our safety and best interests. Teamsters Union spokesperson Leslie Miller said, Just because we have free trade agreement doesnt mean people can come to our country and do business in way that doesnt meet our standards.
James Hoffa stated, They basically want to erase all the borders. Texas ports in Houston and Corpus Christi are also expected to see an increased flow of containers from China. Circuit Court of Appeals has refused to temporarily block the demonstration program which could begin as early as 6. Many feel that all the safety issues have not been addressed or resolved, and what they are simply asking for is that Mexican trucks and drivers meet the same requirements as their American counterparts.
cheaper and faster. roads under demonstration program is part of NAFTA and the corporate NAU agenda of further opening up our borders. Millions of dollars is being spent upgrading deep water ports on Mexicos Pacific coast. The TTC is to be the first leg of NAFTA Superhighway, and having new infrastructure in place will save costs and give China full access to the but it was then president Bill Clinton who restricted them to mile commercial zone because of safety concerns.

In an effort to fill vacancies some freight carriers have recruited workers from Ireland, Russia and Latin America. employ threequarters of the 120,000 Teamsters in the freight hauling industry. In Teamsters covered by the Master Freight Agreement has plummeted from 300,000 to the current level of 120,000. This wage provision is below the current rate of wage increases in the US, and fails to match the inflation rate. In the current negotiations, the trucking companies greater flexibility in the use of railroads to move freight, costcutting measure.
Both sides worked for quick settlement without strike and long contract like the one signed at UPS, so that the companies will have all the time they need to restructure their operations at the expense of jobs and working conditions. In an effort to fill vacancies some freight carriers have recruited workers from Ireland, Russia and Latin America. Teamsters President Ron Carey ended the strike with deal brokered by the Clinton administration. With booming levels of cargo and low fuel costs, trucking companies are recording high profits.
employ threequarters of the 120,000 Teamsters in the freight hauling industry. Commenting on the current contract one trucking consultant told the Wall Street Journal, A deal was essential to the companies. The position of truck drivers and warehouse workers has steadily declined since government deregulation of the industry in These conditions have produced high employee turnover rateas high as percent at some companies. This is going to allow them to be viable player in the transportation industry. The contract was signed in the midst of shakeout of the Teamsters bureaucracy.
Both management and Teamsters officials were concerned that workers expectations were high following last Augusts strike by 180,000 workers at United Parcel Service. The contract will also allow the trucking companies got their longest contract ever, promising stability for shippers while the booming economy is filling trucks. The Journal added that the contract was likely to disappoint many union members, and quoted an economist who warned that its terms might cause unrest among rankandfile workers. In Teamsters covered by the Master Freight Agreement has plummeted from 300,000 to the current level of 120,000.

Truck driver fatigue is majorcontributor to severe crashes. My 17year old son Jeff and his threeclose friends were killed in preventable crash caused by truck driverfatigue.

Trucking is the backbone of cheap pricesNanaimo,BC,Canada -
The Nanaimo Daily News - June 16, 2008: --
It may not be a trend yet, but truck drivers and trucking companies based on Vancouver Island are right in the centre of the spiral of rising costs in everything... Truckers on the Island are telling us that it can't go much further in this part of the world because of the rising ferry prices... The province needs to look very carefully at this problem and step in with rebates or tax incentives that will keep the trucking industry between the Island and the Mainland not just alive but vigourous... The big question is how far and for how long fuel prices will continue to climb. The concerns of small Island truckers are very real, and the problems only mount from there. Some may go out of business and if that happens enough, it will hit cities like Nanaimo hard... Trucks will continue to roll, but the costs are just going to increase even more as larger firms, most based on the Mainland, have to find a way to recover their costs to keep stocking grocery stores, big box stores and the hundreds of other businesses in this city alone... It is not just for the province to act in the interests of Island truckers. It is well within the power of the federal government to create programs that will offset the very unique problems faced by the Island truck industry... The Teamsters and the governments may also want to look at addressing how to keep experienced drivers. Many of them are being priced out of the business and, like any other business, experience counts... As much as the big box stores, we are all dependent on the trucking industry... (Video from YouTube, by
RobinsVoyage - November 12, 2007: "The BC Ferry with my truck: Vancouver to the Mainland" - Back in August, I was asked to transport some light poles from Nebraska to Vancouver Island. This video was taken on the way back from Vancouver Island to the mainland. The music is by Rodriguez and ELO)
