"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"content": "\u003cp>WASHINGTON (AP) — After weeks of bickering and doubt, Congress delivered a last-minute holiday tax cut extension to 160 million workers Friday along with further unemployment benefits for millions laid off in the nation's fierce recession and weak economic recovery. It was a convincing victory for President Barack Obama, a humbling retreat for House Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back-to-back voice vote approvals of the two-month special measure by the Senate and House came in mere seconds with no debate, just days after House Republican leaders had insisted that full-blown negotiations on a full-year bill were the only way to prevent an immediate tax increase on Jan. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most members of Congress were already gone for the holidays, leaving behind just a few legislators to take formal action. Obama was leaving in the afternoon for a delayed vacation in Hawaii. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure passed despite lingering grumbling from tea party Republicans. It buys time for talks early next year on how to finance the year-long extensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will keep in place a 2 percentage point cut in the payroll tax — a salary boost of about $20 a week for an average worker making $50,000 a year — and prevent almost 2 million unemployed people from losing jobless benefits averaging $300 a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate and House Republican leaders did gain a major win last week, winning a provision that would require Obama to make a swift decision on whether to approve construction of the Canada-to-Texas Keystone XL oil pipeline. To stop construction, Obama, who had wanted to put the decision off until after the 2012 election, would have to declare that it was not in the nation's interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Passage of the tax bill in the House ended a holiday season Republican confrontation with Obama and Senate Democrats that had threatened to hit 160 million workers with a tax increase on Jan. 1. But it backfired badly. Even Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell and the Wall Street Journal editorial board urged Speaker John Boehner and other House Republicans to act quickly and keep the tax cut in effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, an expressionless Boehner read from a piece of paper before him, gaveled the House's last session of the year closed and stepped off the podium on the Democratic side. He hugged the dean of the House, Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wished him a Merry Christmas,\" Dingell said afterward. \"I think he's somewhat at ease to have this mess of his back.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A full-year extension of the tax cut had been embraced by virtually every lawmaker in both the House and Senate but had been derailed in a quarrel over demands by House Republicans. Senate leaders of both parties had tried to barter such an agreement among themselves a week ago but failed, instead agreeing upon a 60-day measure to buy time for talks next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday's decision by Boehner, R-Ohio, to cave in to the Senate came after days of criticism from Obama and Democrats. But perhaps more tellingly, GOP stalwarts including Republican senators and outside strategists warned that if the tax cuts were allowed to expire, Republicans would take a political beating that would harm efforts to unseat Obama next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House GOP arguments about the legislative process and what the \"uncertainty\" of a two-month extension would mean for businesses were unpersuasive, and Obama took the offensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday's House and Senate sessions were remarkable. Both chambers had essentially recessed for the holidays but leaders in both parties orchestrated passage of the short-term agreement under debate rules that would allow any individual member of Congress to derail the pact, at least for a time. None did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The developments were a clear win for Obama. The payroll tax cut was the centerpiece of his three-month, campaign-style drive for jobs legislation that seems to have contributed to an uptick in his poll numbers — and taken a toll on those of congressional Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama, Republicans and congressional Democrats all said they preferred a one-year extension but the politics of achieving the goal, particularly the spending cuts and new fees required to pay for it, eluded them. All pledged to start working on that in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There remain important differences between the parties on how to implement these policies, and it is critical that we protect middle-class families from a tax increase while we work them out,\" Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House GOP arguments about the legislative process and what the \"uncertainty\" of a two-month extension would mean for businesses were unpersuasive. The two-month version's $33 billion cost will be covered by a .1 percentage point increase on guarantee fees on new home loans backed by mortgage giants Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae — at a likely cost of about $17 a month for a person with a $200,000 mortgage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Has this place become so dysfunctional that even when we agree to things, we can't do it?\" Obama said on Thursday. \"Enough is enough.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The top Senate Republican, McConnell of Kentucky, was a driving force behind the final agreement, imploring Boehner to accept the deal that McConnell and Reid had struck last week and passed with overwhelming support in both parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, tea party-backed House Republicans began to abandon their leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think that my constituents should have a tax increase because of Washington's dysfunction,\" freshman Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the cuts had expired as scheduled, 160 million workers would have seen tax increases and up to 2 million people without jobs for six months would start losing unemployment benefits averaging $300 a week. Doctors would have seen a 27 percent cut in their Medicare payments, the product of a 1997 cut that Congress has been unable to fix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though GOP leaders like House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., promised that the two sides could quickly iron out their differences, the truth is that it'll take intense talks to figure out both the spending cuts and fee increases required to finance the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just hours before he announced the breakthrough, Boehner had made the case for a yearlong extension. But on a brief late afternoon conference call, he informed his colleagues it was time to yield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He said that as your leader, you've in effect asked me to make decisions easy and difficult, and I'm making my decision right now,\" said Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., paraphrasing Boehner's comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kingston said the conference call lasted just minutes and Boehner did not give anyone time to respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was still carping among tea party freshmen upset that GOP leaders had yielded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even though there is plenty of evidence this is a bad deal for America ... the House has caved yet again to the president and Senate Democrats,\" Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan., said. \"We were sent here with a clear set of instructions from the American people to put an end to business as usual in Washington, yet here we are being asked to sign off on yet another gimmick.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

It was a convincing victory for President Barack Obama, a humbling retreat for House Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back-to-back voice vote approvals of the two-month special measure by the Senate and House came in mere seconds with no debate, just days after House Republican leaders had insisted that full-blown negotiations on a full-year bill were the only way to prevent an immediate tax increase on Jan. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most members of Congress were already gone for the holidays, leaving behind just a few legislators to take formal action. Obama was leaving in the afternoon for a delayed vacation in Hawaii. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure passed despite lingering grumbling from tea party Republicans. It buys time for talks early next year on how to finance the year-long extensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will keep in place a 2 percentage point cut in the payroll tax — a salary boost of about $20 a week for an average worker making $50,000 a year — and prevent almost 2 million unemployed people from losing jobless benefits averaging $300 a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate and House Republican leaders did gain a major win last week, winning a provision that would require Obama to make a swift decision on whether to approve construction of the Canada-to-Texas Keystone XL oil pipeline. To stop construction, Obama, who had wanted to put the decision off until after the 2012 election, would have to declare that it was not in the nation's interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Passage of the tax bill in the House ended a holiday season Republican confrontation with Obama and Senate Democrats that had threatened to hit 160 million workers with a tax increase on Jan. 1. But it backfired badly. Even Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell and the Wall Street Journal editorial board urged Speaker John Boehner and other House Republicans to act quickly and keep the tax cut in effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, an expressionless Boehner read from a piece of paper before him, gaveled the House's last session of the year closed and stepped off the podium on the Democratic side. He hugged the dean of the House, Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wished him a Merry Christmas,\" Dingell said afterward. \"I think he's somewhat at ease to have this mess of his back.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A full-year extension of the tax cut had been embraced by virtually every lawmaker in both the House and Senate but had been derailed in a quarrel over demands by House Republicans. Senate leaders of both parties had tried to barter such an agreement among themselves a week ago but failed, instead agreeing upon a 60-day measure to buy time for talks next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday's decision by Boehner, R-Ohio, to cave in to the Senate came after days of criticism from Obama and Democrats. But perhaps more tellingly, GOP stalwarts including Republican senators and outside strategists warned that if the tax cuts were allowed to expire, Republicans would take a political beating that would harm efforts to unseat Obama next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House GOP arguments about the legislative process and what the \"uncertainty\" of a two-month extension would mean for businesses were unpersuasive, and Obama took the offensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday's House and Senate sessions were remarkable. Both chambers had essentially recessed for the holidays but leaders in both parties orchestrated passage of the short-term agreement under debate rules that would allow any individual member of Congress to derail the pact, at least for a time. None did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The developments were a clear win for Obama. The payroll tax cut was the centerpiece of his three-month, campaign-style drive for jobs legislation that seems to have contributed to an uptick in his poll numbers — and taken a toll on those of congressional Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama, Republicans and congressional Democrats all said they preferred a one-year extension but the politics of achieving the goal, particularly the spending cuts and new fees required to pay for it, eluded them. All pledged to start working on that in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There remain important differences between the parties on how to implement these policies, and it is critical that we protect middle-class families from a tax increase while we work them out,\" Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House GOP arguments about the legislative process and what the \"uncertainty\" of a two-month extension would mean for businesses were unpersuasive. The two-month version's $33 billion cost will be covered by a .1 percentage point increase on guarantee fees on new home loans backed by mortgage giants Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae — at a likely cost of about $17 a month for a person with a $200,000 mortgage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Has this place become so dysfunctional that even when we agree to things, we can't do it?\" Obama said on Thursday. \"Enough is enough.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The top Senate Republican, McConnell of Kentucky, was a driving force behind the final agreement, imploring Boehner to accept the deal that McConnell and Reid had struck last week and passed with overwhelming support in both parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, tea party-backed House Republicans began to abandon their leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think that my constituents should have a tax increase because of Washington's dysfunction,\" freshman Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the cuts had expired as scheduled, 160 million workers would have seen tax increases and up to 2 million people without jobs for six months would start losing unemployment benefits averaging $300 a week. Doctors would have seen a 27 percent cut in their Medicare payments, the product of a 1997 cut that Congress has been unable to fix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though GOP leaders like House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., promised that the two sides could quickly iron out their differences, the truth is that it'll take intense talks to figure out both the spending cuts and fee increases required to finance the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just hours before he announced the breakthrough, Boehner had made the case for a yearlong extension. But on a brief late afternoon conference call, he informed his colleagues it was time to yield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He said that as your leader, you've in effect asked me to make decisions easy and difficult, and I'm making my decision right now,\" said Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., paraphrasing Boehner's comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kingston said the conference call lasted just minutes and Boehner did not give anyone time to respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was still carping among tea party freshmen upset that GOP leaders had yielded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Garry Horrocks had this to say: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>I think a lot of union members are split because philosophically they believe in what's going on but there's contractual issues the unions have to recognize, and they have liabilities and assets to lose if they don't follow the legalities in the contract. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's what they call a fiduciary responsiblity of the members of the union to protect the assets, bc if ther are no assets, there's no funding, there's no revolution, there's no unions. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, on KQED Radio's Forum show, ILWU Communications Director Craig Merrilees expressed support for the Occupy movement while somewhat gingerly reaffirming the union's opposition to the port action: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I think almost everyone in the ILWU supports the goals of the 99% and nobody's done more than the Occupy movement to raise that issue. They've done a fabulous job of changing the debate in this country in a positive way so that people begin to have a sense of power. The ILWU has a long history of social justice and that kind of activism is part of the culture of this union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for this particular day, the union is not taking a position supporting this action, but that was really because of the lack of a process to allow the longshore workers – the rank and file, members – to participate in that decision. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are individuals who are exercising their First Amendment rights to take a stand, but the union itself is not in that position today.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>When asked if the union was \"ticked off\" that it wasn't consulted in the decision to demonstrate, he said, \"I don't think ticked off is the right word in any way. There's a position of respect here; I think the ILWU is grateful and respectful that people are standing up and raising concerns about the injustice that's taking place in America….there continues to be a lot of good feeling towards the thrust of what folks in the Occupy movement are trying to achieve.\"\n\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below is Mina's Kim's interview with Occupy Oakland's Peller from a couple of weeks ago, in which Peller talks about the Occupy movement's reasons for focusing on the port. The conversation speaks to the question of and perhaps some of the contradictions inherent in an outside group taking on an issue specific to organized labor. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the port action about?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> It's about shutting down Wall Street on the waterfront. Shutting down Goldman Sachs, which owns a part of the SSA terminal, and EGT, a multiational grain exporter rupturing longshoremen jurisdiction in Longview, Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> We've identified the fact that a the 1% makes a great deal of its profit on the ports and on the backs of exploited labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have you been working with longshoremen?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> We've been working with rank-and-file longshoremen. Legally, no union can sanction a strike. There are no-strike clauses. But we're not asking for a strike, we're asking for a blockade like on Nov 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Historically, since the anti-apartheid movement, people will go down and create community pickets and shut down the ports. These ports are public, anyone can go down there and protest. We know that the longshoremen rank and file largely support the aims of the Occupy movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> As well, this west coast coordinated port blockade is in solidarity with the longshoremen's struggle against EGT in Longview Washington, which is ruptuing their jurisdition and is a direct threat to the survival of the ILWU. While the ILWU international may not be able to officially say anything about the port blockade, this is a large number of people taking on the issues that we all have with the 1%. EGT is not only a longshoreman issue, but they have economically plundered people from Argentina to Brazil and all around the world… And of course, Goldman Sachs owns a large part of the SSA terminal, and we all know what Goldman Sachs has done to a large part of our communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How would you respond to people who say that shutting down the port would hurt members of the 99% like truckers and other workers who need the shift?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> It's the same thing as in the general strike, where the right wing tried to accuse occupy Oakland of hurting small businesses. But we all have to make a sacrifice here, to strike back against the 1% and take our lives back from the 1%. This is what this movement is all about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cstrong>Did anyone from the Longview union ask you guys to shut down the port in solidarity with their fight?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> No. The occupation movement doesn't need to take marching orders from anyone. It's a mass of people self-organizing to get their material needs met and to strike back against he 1%. Of course we've been aware of the issue in Longview and applauding the resistance by the longshoremen up in Longview for resisting EGT, but like I said, EGT and other companies operating up there are a concern of everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Nobody from the longshoremen has asked the Occupy movement to do anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cstrong>Are you worried about support from the union's rank and file, or do you think you definitely have their support?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> The rank and file traditionally will honor community picket lines around social justice issues. I think the longshoremen are not unaware of the aims of the Occupy movement and a lot of those aims speak to them as well. Rank and file are also part of the Occupy movement, not separate. Across the board, rank and file union members as well as non-unionized workers, make up a large part of the Occupy movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cstrong>Any plans to coordinate more with the ILWU?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> It's a very sad thing what's happened to the unions in the U.S. because of no-strike clauses and different legal ramifications. It's sad that unions have to distance themselves from things like this for fear of being sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Nobody can speak for the leadership of the ILWU. But working class people understand that EGT and Goldman Sachs are Wall Street on the waterfront, and it's important to shut down Wall Street because of the way these big companies have plundered our lives.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Also released yesterday, \u003ca href=\"http://cleanandsafeports.org/blog/2011/12/12/an-open-letter-from-america%E2%80%99s-port-truck-drivers-on-occupy-the-ports/\">An Open Letter from America’s Port Truck Drivers on Occupy the Ports\u003c/a>, signed by three port drivers and two other truckers:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We are the front-line workers who haul container rigs full of imported and exported goods to and from the docks and warehouses every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> We have been elected by committees of our co-workers at the Ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle, Tacoma, New York and New Jersey to tell our collective story. We have accepted the honor to speak up for our brothers and sisters about our working conditions despite the risk of retaliation we face. One of us is a mother, the rest of us fathers. Between the five of us we have 11children and one more baby on the way. We have a combined 46 years of experience driving cargo from our shores for America’s stores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> We are inspired that a non-violent democratic movement that insists on basic economic fairness is capturing the hearts and minds of so many working people. Thank you “99 Percenters” for hearing our call for justice. We are humbled and overwhelmed by recent attention. Normally we are invisible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Today’s demonstrations will impact us. While we cannot officially speak for every worker who shares our occupation, we can use this opportunity to reveal what it’s like to walk a day in our shoes for the 110,000 of us in America whose job it is to be a port truck driver. It may be tempting for media to ask questions about whether we support a shutdown, but there are no easy answers. Instead, we ask you, are you willing to listen and learn why a one-word response is impossible? \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The letter goes on to describe poor working conditions and a loss of labor rights in the trucking industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Expressing a different viewpoint yesterday were some of the truckers who told our reporter, Caitlin Esch, that they were really angry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of the truckers came in from far away,\" Esch said. \"Nevada, Denver, Kansas, and so they're not leaving until they complete their task. The truckers say they're going to be living in their trucks until they can complete their assignments.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Related:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JUpBpZYwms&feature=player_embedded\">Video: ILWU Local 10 members speak out in support of Oakland port demonstration\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.salon.com/2011/12/09/occupy_vs_big_labor/\">Occupy vs. Big Labor\u003c/a> (Salon)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/12/12/do-you-work-for-the-port-of-oakland-what-do-you-think/\">Do you work for the Port of Oakland?

Across the board, rank and file union members as well as non-unionized workers, make up a large part of the Occupy movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cstrong>Any plans to coordinate more with the ILWU?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> It's a very sad thing what's happened to the unions in the U.S. because of no-strike clauses and different legal ramifications. It's sad that unions have to distance themselves from things like this for fear of being sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Nobody can speak for the leadership of the ILWU. But working class people understand that EGT and Goldman Sachs are Wall Street on the waterfront, and it's important to shut down Wall Street because of the way these big companies have plundered our lives.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Also released yesterday, \u003ca href=\"http://cleanandsafeports.org/blog/2011/12/12/an-open-letter-from-america%E2%80%99s-port-truck-drivers-on-occupy-the-ports/\">An Open Letter from America’s Port Truck Drivers on Occupy the Ports\u003c/a>, signed by three port drivers and two other truckers:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We are the front-line workers who haul container rigs full of imported and exported goods to and from the docks and warehouses every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> We have been elected by committees of our co-workers at the Ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle, Tacoma, New York and New Jersey to tell our collective story. We have accepted the honor to speak up for our brothers and sisters about our working conditions despite the risk of retaliation we face. One of us is a mother, the rest of us fathers. Between the five of us we have 11children and one more baby on the way. We have a combined 46 years of experience driving cargo from our shores for America’s stores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> We are inspired that a non-violent democratic movement that insists on basic economic fairness is capturing the hearts and minds of so many working people. Thank you “99 Percenters” for hearing our call for justice. We are humbled and overwhelmed by recent attention. Normally we are invisible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Today’s demonstrations will impact us. While we cannot officially speak for every worker who shares our occupation, we can use this opportunity to reveal what it’s like to walk a day in our shoes for the 110,000 of us in America whose job it is to be a port truck driver. It may be tempting for media to ask questions about whether we support a shutdown, but there are no easy answers. Instead, we ask you, are you willing to listen and learn why a one-word response is impossible? \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The letter goes on to describe poor working conditions and a loss of labor rights in the trucking industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Expressing a different viewpoint yesterday were some of the truckers who told our reporter, Caitlin Esch, that they were really angry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of the truckers came in from far away,\" Esch said. \"Nevada, Denver, Kansas, and so they're not leaving until they complete their task.
