about losing some pay. i guess a lot of them aren't -- hourly wage per load or per shipment. so they're losing some money. and actually mailed a point to apologize to a few of them. >> protestors say this is all for a greater good and more attention it gets, the stronger their message becomes. some told us they're not stationed at individual gates but there is port security down there. so they may not have much of an effect. as far as we know, trucks can enter the port now through the other entrances, so this blockade here is more of an inconvenience at the moment. protestors tell us they'll be here at least another hour, 24 hours after the initial protests started. and we did notice that there was undercover police officer that came by with his camera and took pictures. but obviously police feel their presence is not needed here. perhaps more needed on the plaza where kraig is. >> thank you, tara.
