Thursday, September 10 concluded a historic six weeks of testimony in back-to-back individual hearings of 38 independent contractor port truck drivers who claim they’ve been misclassified, many of whom have been on strike against their employer, Carson-based Pacific 9 Transportation (Pac 9), six times in the last two years.
The individual hearings, which began on July 27, were set before the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE), during which the drivers provided evidence of more than $6 million in Wage Theft.
On Monday, the drivers striking at Pac 9’s truck yard in Carson were joined on the picket line by drivers from recently unionized drayage companies, Shippers Transport Express and Eco Flo Transportation.
