Labor leaders and environmentalists stood in solidarity on Tuesday to demand clean air and quality jobs at the Port of Oakland. Jesse Russell reports:

More than 3000 members of organized labor, environmental groups, and the community joined together on Tuesday at a rally intended to bring attention to the need for clean air and good jobs at Oakland California’s port. One of the primary targets is the port's truck fleet. The rally participants, including Teamster’s President Jim Hoffa, called on the port to implement a sustainable truck program that will cut back on the toxins that trucks emit. Hoffa said that the goal of the rally was to “curb pollution in our ports and create good-paying jobs for port drivers.” A similar sustainable trucks program was adopted by the Port of Los Angeles earlier this year. If Oakland adopts such a plan, they will be the second port in the country to do so.
