Officials at the Port of Oakland said operations have been shut down due to ongoing protests by independent truckers over AB5, which may soon take effect.
The port said in a statement Wednesday that the shutdown will further exacerbate the congestion of containers at the port.
"We understand the frustration expressed by the protestors at California ports," said Danny Wan, the port's executive director."But, prolonged stoppage of port operations in California for any reason will damage all the businesses operating at the ports and cause California ports to further suffer market share losses to competing ports.
