Some people
recall the feeling of almost one million bikers rocking up in Washington D.C.:
a sense of awe and astonishment at the sheer number of glistening, growling
vehicles packing the streets of the capital city. There was also a sense of
relief at the fact that the 9/11 Memorial Biker’s Ride went by without
incident, in spite of the fact that the organizers never got a permit. Well,
prepare for another tidal wave of vehicles, because this weekend (11th
to the 13th of October), Washington D.C. is yet again set to host another
massive demonstration, this time the American trucker’s strike.
The History of the Trucker’s Strike USA
The first
event, the 2 Million Biker’s “Shut Down America,” which took place on September
12th, has inspired hundreds of thousands of truckers and other
patriotic American citizens to hit the streets of D.C. and use their monstrous
vehicles to block all paths into and out of the city. The aim of the general
strike is to heighten awareness and bring government attention to the growing
grievances of those who work in the trucking industry.
What’s the history of the truckers strike
in America?
This soon-to-be
historic event was sparked by the unconstitutional behavior, restrictive
regulations and corruption of the Obama administration. Many of the laws that
have been passed since President Barack Obama took the reins of the country
(and many of those that are in the process of being passed) have served to put
a clamp on one of the country’s most important and integral industries. From
soaring gas prices and Obamacare compelling trucking companies to restrict the
number of hours that employees can work in a week, to the call to install
tracking devices in all vehicles, the government is steadily upsetting many
hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Americans.
The American truckers
strike, which could have a temporary, yet catastrophic
effect on national commerce aims to give a voice to these Americans.
The organizers behind the event encourage
everyone to stock up on food and other essentials, since delivery of produce
will not be taking place for the duration of the strike and perhaps even
longer.
