NORFOLK –– James Wright got the call from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Thursday night. The posters came Friday morning.

Wright, president of Teamsters Local 822, had less than 24 hours to organize a Teamsters-sponsored rally in Norfolk protesting the planned takeover of operations at six U.S. port terminals by a company from the United Arab Emirates. The local represents about 2,300 workers at UPS, Smithfield Foods and other local companies.
