Workers at frozen food company Lamb Weston in Twin Falls, Idaho, say the company has hired a union-busting firm to intimidate them out of joining the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.  Employees reached out to the union with concerns over wages, scheduling and health and safety issues.  An election is scheduled for mid-July.  The company currently employs over 400 workers at the plant, many of them Latino or Russian immigrants.

Tuesday striking port truckers at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach joined a coalition of community, labor and clergy leaders for a rally and march through Long beach with elected officials. The strike is part of a long campaign by port truckers, backed by the Teamsters, to end mis-classification of truckers as independent contractors instead of employees.
