Watching the waterfront watchers

....the Waterfront Commission has 102 employees and an annual budget of $8 million. A source who wished to remain anonymous because he or she feared retribution told the paper that patronage was so entrenched at the organization that people were being hired as police officers even though they were unqualified and after failing examinations multiple times.

US Teamster Chief protests US-Mexico cargo program

Dozens of San Diego truckers gathered at the Otay Mesa border crossing, a major port of entry for cargo. A pilot program lets about 50 Mexican trucks cross the border and travel freely in the United States. That's if those trucks meet strict standards.

But Teamsters President Jim Hoffa says Mexican trucks are still unsafe, and their drivers could pose a risk.

Hoffa: They don't have a database in which people can be held accountable if they get a drunk driving or have any type of record. They're also basically a national security risk from the standpoint of we don't know they are, what they are.
