That story was through except for one detail. There's no such thing as the truckers union and that they went on strike after the storms. Simply not true. There is not one single trucker union. There are several. The drivers in my company are Teamsters and most showed up to work. EVERYONE on the island was affected by the storm. Those who could show up to work, did.

through = true.

Thank you for the information. The ‘truckers strike’ has been endlessly propagated.

Thanks for this report.

How is the electricity doing in Puerto Rico now?

I saw an exchange between a reporter and what I thought was the head of the truckers union, where the reporter challenged the union head about his men being on strike. Supposedly they were upset about some law passed previous to the storm, and wanted that repealed before coming back to work, storm or no storm. Maybe I misunderstood what was going on, though, I don’t follow things too closely there...

That was the common story we were hearing here, though, that some percentage of truckers were refusing to roll. Maybe that wasn’t true, from what you say...
