A California longshoreman, who works at California's San Pedro Bay Port Complex, reportedly said the labor unions are exascerbating the supply chain crisis.
Identified as Alfred to Yahoo News, the longshoreman blamed Pacific Maritime Association for "Cutting the work" at the port, which is increasing the jam of containers stuck at sea and on the docks.
The port backlogs have often been blamed on too few truck drivers.
A truck driver named Carlos Rameriz told Yahoo News the ports are not releasing containers to the drivers.
"That's what pays my bills." Rameriz also said many of the truckers are waiting three hours or longer to enter the port to pick up a container.
"There's a lot of us that are willing to work," Rameriz added before noting he does not know "Anybody that is working 24/7."
