Concrete flows at some job sites as bitter strike drags on
There has been no movement toward resolving the strike by concrete-mixer truck drivers, but there has been related action, including deliveries of concrete to some construction sites.
"More and more untrained and inexperienced third-party mixer trucks and drivers have moved into our communities," Teamsters Local Local 174 wrote in an email, which came with a report describing how King County concrete companies are putting the public at risk.
Included in the report is a photo of a Jan. 27 four-vehicle crash in Sumner, which resulted in a concrete-mixer truck rolling over.
But that was the fault of a Jeep Wrangler driver who "may have been following too closely and going too fast," Washington State Patrol Trooper Robert Reyer said Friday. The Wrangler driver was cited for an infraction, according to Reyer, who did not know what for because the trooper who issued the ticket was on leave Friday.
