Some truckers plan boycott over Arizona immigration law
[snip] Two or three times a week, truck driver Jesus Serrano hauls loads of Mexican-grown produce from warehouses in Nogales, Ariz., which is just across the U.S.-Mexico border, to distribution centers in Los Angeles.
Serrano plans to stop making the trip now that Arizona Republican Gov. Jan Brewer has signed a stringent anti-illegal immigration bill into law, however, and he’s recruited other truckers to join him.
“We’re Hispanic; we’re Mexican. We’ve been saying, ‘Are we going to be getting stopped on our way to the store when we’re walking to get lunch somewhere?’ “ Serrano said.
About 40 percent of the Mexican-grown produce that’s consumed in North America comes through Nogales, according to Amy Adams, a spokeswoman with the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas. Serrano said that a revolt among independent truckers would create backlogs in moving that produce out of Nogales warehouses.
However, Collin Stewart, the chairman of the Arizona Trucking Association, hadn’t heard of the boycott plans and said he wouldn’t expect what he described as a “CB radio revolt” by independent owner-operators to affect distribution significantly.
