"SNIP.......



Major U.S. labor unions are organizing truck drivers to help with relief efforts in Puerto Rico as the island continues to grapple with the devastation wrought by Hurricane Maria last week.

The Teamsters union and the AFL-CIO, a federation of more than 50 unions, are working together to recruit truckers to travel to Puerto Rico and help distribute a stockpile of relief supplies

Thousands of shipping containers full of food, water, and medicines were sitting unused at Puerto Rico's Port of San Juan.

Relief workers haven't been able to distribute the goods, in part because only about 20% of Puerto Rico's truck drivers have reported back to work since Hurricane Maria swept through, according to a representative for Puerto Rican Gov. Ricardo Rosselló.

1. It All Makes Sense Why Fox News Was Taping The Containers At The Port..

...To Make The Mayor Look Bad And Trump Good,
They Left Out The Part Of The Story That You Can't
Drive Through Flooded Out Roads, ,

Thank You Teamsters.

While Sunkist Stalin is fiddling around with his little prick on the golf course, the AFL-CIO is organizing a Berlin Air Lift!
