Attendees share their grievances during [the June 1] Saturday’s forum.Savannah port drivers told nearly 300 people on Saturday how their employers cheat them of wages and benefits by calling them “independent contractors.”
Teamsters Local 728 hosted a community forum for the drivers in Savannah as part of the union’s continuing battle against the misclassification of drivers.
The drivers told news reporters, elected officials and government authorities about their adverse working conditions as contract workers for trucking companies. They explained they are full-time employees in everything but name. They said they have to jump through hoops to take a day off, even though they’re supposed to be independent.
