Independent truck drivers have been blocking road access to the Port of Oakland since last week, preventing ships from unloading at the major shipping hub

Truckers have been protesting California's Assembly Bill 5, a law requiring certain industries to classify contractors as regular benefitted employees

Photos of the port showed rows of stacked shipping containers with nowhere to go and an armada of fully loaded freighters queued up, unable to unload
Truckers threaten to make strike 'indefinite'

Hundreds of International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) members declined to cross blockade
