FDT, thanks for the timely heads up but please explain (translate)? What is causing the manifestations.

Can't figure out how to use "Quote"
Anyway, FDT says "crossings" plural, and "everwhere"

FDT, what to the teachers have against crossing the border? Does it have something to do with passport issues?

I believe it has something to do with the awareness of their complaints. Blocking the border will attract more attention.
We're crossing at Mexicali East on Friday a.m. Looks like we'll have to cross a little earlier to avoid delays...

Seems that blocking to border will just make people mad at them and not help getting sympothay for whatever their complaints might be.

They did the same thing a couple of months back. Traffic backed up the freeway on the US side and back into Tijuana on the Mexico side. I just made
it through going south as they were just setting up. The lanes north at the gates were empty.

I heard it was to be a national strike and that all crossings would be closed.
Later edit: the article Ferna provided the link for says all 16 crossings will be affected.

This is really a shame! Teaching is such a noble calling. It's virtue shouldn't be diminished by a strike which hurts or inconveniences other people.
These kinds of strikes should be reserved in matters where the potential destruction of the world is a risk; NOT where personal grievences are
concerned. This is not correct collective bargaining. I believe they will sour world opinion and be counter productive.
Too bad....it is the children who lose.

Totally agree withe you, toneart. Unfortunately, it is a tried and true manner of protest. I had to take my daughter out of the Philadelphia public
school system where the strikes were so frequent that she would have been lucky to get out of high school with the necessary credits by age 30.

Toneart........
Yes, the children do lose but they arn't the only ones. A lot, if not most, of the border traffic is crossing for important personal reasons.
Appointments, work, family etc. This is a huge disruptiion. Kind of like building a fence which the teachers would be among the first to say is
inhuman but, I guess it's OK when they do it because they're teachers who would rather go out and play in the street than teach.

Dennis, I'm predicting the backup on the "5" will reach Solano Beach. What say you?
