Truck drivers who are on strike at the Port of Oakland in say they are prepared to continue their blockade for months if their concerns about a state employment law are not addressed.The protest at the nation's eighth-largest port entered its fourth day on Thursday, as truckers demonstrated against a new state labor law that makes it harder for independent drivers to operate. The protesters worry that the imminent law, which cracks down on 'gig workers' in an effort to push more of them into full-time employment and unions, will impose hefty costs on them that will slash their earnings.
