The reason for truck drivers not showing up? The Puerto Rican Teamsters Union, Frente Amplio, is refusing to move the product.

But why is the Union boss refusing to move the product?
President Trump should declare Martial Law in the emergency, put military in charge of the island. Don’t let the POS leftists wreck people’s lives anymore while blaming it all on Trump.
He wants more moolah, i.e., another Democrat shakedown artist.
Why would a union boss do this? Stupidity, politics or both.
To make Trump look bad, knowing the press will blame him.
Typical Hoft journalism.
This is based on a tweet from a random girl who says her source is a NY firefighter but she can’t reveal whom.
Beware.
My guess is if you look into the finances of those in control of the union you will find money coming from unknown sources some time in the future or even now.
Puerto Rico = Haiti
I keep reading something about her “Special T-Shirt”.
What is so special about it?
It’s a customized T-shirt.
It says in English: “Help us, we are dying.”
She wore it into a interview with Anderson Cooper (CNN). Evidentally, the t-shirt shops in San Juan...have enough electricity to turn out t-shirts like this, and if you look at the picture from the Brit Telegraph article on this....she is ‘dolled-up’ in make-up for the interview.
If she had any real leadership abilities, she would have used them already to help San Juan. She’s just a ‘damsel-in-distress’ pretender-of-a-mayor.
This is going to backfire on them big time.
Note: It should be noted that this "union" story is from "Laborunionreport.com" (union website).
See link here (Union blames paperwork):
Yet NPR confirms that there's a lack of drivers: Debates whether the roads are an issue. If it were paperwork, as the union says, there should be drivers waiting at the port. So who is right? (sounds like there's truth to GP's story in a deeper issue at play)

The news media on Puerto Rico is mostly in marginal existence since the Hurricane. Even if the TV and radio stations had power...most people on the isle still don’t have electricity. Newspapers might be still printing. It’s hard to say how the public views this internal battle.
I noticed that another mayor stood up and noted they’d been in daily contact with FEMA...their town of 100,000 was being restored...plenty of food and water...people were being helped. San Juan has around 400,000 people and being more or less held hostage by some kinda agenda being played out.
If he refuses to do so, or fails to do so, a JDAM should be targeted on his home compound, preferably while he is known to be there.
Then his second-in-command should receive the same deal.

Such demands "in their own mobster language" should not have to travel very far down the union organization chart before willing compliance is achieved.

Should any Stateside union make noises about striking "in solidarity with Frente Amplio", the response to that union's President should be simple:
Remember....Never let a disaster go to waste?........
