INSTEAD adopting the union-backed clean truck plan with Port of Los Angeles, the Port of Long Beach is taking its own course that refuses to ban owner-operator truckers from docks as demanded by the Teamsters' union.
The Long Beach scheme does include licensing requirements demanded by the Teamsters union, the Los Angeles mayor and his appointed port commissioners, which would have banned owner-operators from the waterfront.
In December, LA and Long Beach agreed to the first part of the truck scheme, reported American Shipper - a gradual plan over the years that would ban pre-1989 trucks on October 1 and by January, 2012, banning pre-2007 trucks unless upgraded to 2007 standards.
The American Trucking Association praised the Long Beach decision and said it would sue the ports if they enacted the employee-only waterfront admission rule.
