Oct. 31: Union members at the Port of Hueneme picketed Monday and refused to load produce onto trucks owned by a company they said fired 10 drivers who tried to organize.
“They’ll have to go to a different trucking company to do their work,” said Dennis Shaw, contract administrator for the Teamsters Local Union No. 186.
The primary companies that will feel the effects are Del Monte Fresh Produce and Chiquita Fresh North America, Shaw said, although they could find other truck companies to make their deliveries.
