Dismissed workers at Universal Logistics in SoCal mount protest to get jobs back
Another step in worker classification disputes in California, which are getting more heated with new legislative proposals Photo: Teamsters
The Teamsters are calling it a strike, but an action at a Universal Logistics (NASDAQ: ULH) facility in Compton, California, Monday is more of a protest by workers who want their job back.
Though the protest was small, it’s another battle in the ongoing California labor wars, where the intersection of Teamster efforts to unionize and issues of driver classification all come together. Looming in the background at all times are California’s regulations dealing with the issue of worker classification.
