Non-union member Edward Hall, 47, was crushed to death by a tractor-trailer at the Port of Oakland. It seems that a driver (accidentally) backed into Hall last night as he was working. This is the second fatal accident to have happened at the Port of Oakland this year, which happened in September.
According to the Examiner, "ILWU spokesman Craig Merrilees said this latest incident highlights the need for better safety protocols at the port." And criminal charges against the tractor-trailer operator. Be careful out there, port workers.
