NEW: Federal OSHA records confirm QSL New Orleans received FOUR serious safety citations following a Fatality/Catastrophe inspection at its marine cargo site.

This is the same company operating on public land in Chicago where QSL workers have been on strike for over a year raising safety alarms.

More than one year ago, QSL dockworker Darius Clement disappeared while working along the Mississippi River. His family still has no answers.

Workers deserve safe jobs. They deserve accountability. They deserve a voice.
