About 450 dockworkers have been unable to report to work at California’s third-busiest port of Oakland as truckers protesting a gig-work law block access to the operation for a fourth day.
The largest marine terminal at the port, SSA Marine Inc., which is responsible for much of arriving cargo, was closed for a third time this week on Thursday, according to port spokesman Robert Bernardo. The port’s three other terminals have vessel-labor operations under way, he said.
