The labor department exempted them on Friday, the labor department overseas ohsa.
We just lost a powerful ally.
I have a few Teamster truckers in my family. All they're talking about is how the mandate will eventually be applied to them, too. After a suitable time period for their "exemption" it will be removed.
But will they protest it now or after January 4th. It seems they’re picking groups off one by one.

There is a lot of talk among the rank and file that the union leadership doesn't understand how they feel. (Nothing new there.) You may very well see wildcat strikes coming. The union won't approve of anything official but there might just be enough drivers out there willing to do it on their own.
Remember, lots of drivers can't get into the LA area ports because of the increased emissions requirements so there are a lot of idle drivers who are looking to make an impact somehow.
Emissions and not Union drivers.
So we have to rely mainly on the non-union at the hubs.
