LOS ANGELES—The International Brotherhood of Teamsters announced Jan. 19 that Southern California port and rail truck drivers, including those who operate at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, have filed for an election to form a union.
The drivers allege that XPO Logistics—a freight transportation company based in Greenwich, Connecticut—misclassifies them as independent contractors, denying them health insurance, paid sick leave, overtime pay, and the ability to form a union.
