The media here in the states is no better. I have multiple confirmations and am looking for hard proof but the Teamsters Puerto Rico trucking union is refusing to move containers out of the port. Only 20% of truckers showed up for work.
I haven't seen any reports of a Teamster union refusal. I *have* seen reports that only 10-30% of truck drivers are operational, because of one or more of: 1) Their rigs are stuck behind a highway outage due to washout or downed trees. 2) Their rigs are stuck due to lack of diesel. 3) Rigs are fine, but drivers are stuck due to 1) or 2), or they are too busy trying to save their families/etc to show up to work. I've seen too many reports of "I have been waiting in line for 5 hours for water / gasoline / ice for <relative>'s insulin" to get too irate at people who fail to show up for work.
