Corporate America is calling the shots in the South! So who calls the shots in Georgia? XPO Logistics. Fast growing XPO Logistics, which is on track to earn $15 Billion in 2016, is now the biggest trucking company at the Port of Savannah. The company’s sketchy business model illegally classifying its employee drivers as “independent contractors” at U.S. ports and rail yards is fueling profits, but has XPO in hot water with the law. In So. California alone, XPO faces a potential liability due to driver misclassification as “independent contractors” of more than $200 million. So the last thing XPO wants is to have drivers in Georgia unionizing. That’s why XPO called the cops on Teamster organizers who were lawfully leafleting XPO drivers on a city street! When a Teamster organizer asked the Port Wentworth police officer for his badge number, rather than provide it as required by law the officer filed bogus charges against the organizers. Demand that XPO and Port Wentworth drop the charges against Ben and his coworkers.
