Who are the Long Beach port workers?

Latino immigrants make up many of the area's port drivers, some of who were on strike last week protesting low wages and retaliation for unionizing. Despite the economic power of the job, the typical port driver in the U.S. works almost 60 hours a week, but makes less than $28,000 a year.  “I’m 100 percent sure this is the only path our employer has left us with– to continue with our struggle and achieve what we want, which is a contract with the union.” More information and background about the drivers is in a story on Voicewaves.[youtube=http://youtu.be/73dijD-6PZU]
