Union taxi drivers contracted to take people to and from Sea-Tac Airport are upset with the Seattle Port Commission and say they will be protesting at a commission meeting.
At noon Tuesday, drivers are planning to pack the regular Port Commission meeting to demand elected members recognize their union rights.
According to a news release from Teamsters Local 117, the drivers were promised more oversight and accountability from the Port, but they say the Commission has failed to deliver. “Over the last three years, we’ve met repeatedly with Port staff to put forward solutions to address driver issues, but no matter how creative and collaborative we try to be, all we hear is ‘No,’” said Hassan Warsame, a taxi driver and union leader who has worked as a taxi driver for 23 years.
