RE: The Puerto Rican Teamsters Union is refusing to work.

Is there a news source that tells us of this outrage?

PR Teamster Leader won’t let drivers go to work

He is vehemently blaming the governor for the impasse. The reporter tries to reason with him saying that the passage of the law is a thing in the past, and at this very moment, the island is faced with an emergency situation. Puerto Rican people have been highly critical of him for playing politics during an emergency over a law the governor signed in August giving some advantage to Uber and Lyft.

From another source -— same video

The toothless guy is complaining about a law that the governor passed three weeks ago.

The reporter CONFIRMS that the truck drivers are refusing to work in order to get revenge on the governor.

The toothless guy says that the governor’s policies have impacted truckers, so now truckers will show the country THEIR OWN suffering.

The reporters says, “But all this stuff is in the past. In the present, it’s an emergency.”

The toothless guy says that the country can now experience what the truckers experienced due to the governor’s policies.

The toothless guy says the truckers are not responsible for helping the country. That’s the governor’s job.

Three weeks earlier, nobody cared about the plight of the truckers, so now the truckers don’t care about the country.

This is all the governor’s fault, the toothless guy says. He passed a law, and now he has to live with it.

The governor didn’t understand the suffering of the working man, so now the truckers will show the country what suffering is.

Since the country doesn’t care about truckers, the truckers won’t help.
