The Teamsters Union said Wednesday it will ask a federal
appeals courts to block the Bush administration's plan to
begin allowing Mexican trucks to carry cargo anywhere in
the United States.

The union said it has been told by officials in the
Transportation Department's Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration that the first Mexican trucks will be coming
across the border on Saturday.

Teamsters leaders said they planned to seek an emergency
injunction Wednesday from the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of
Appeals in San Francisco.

must insure they meet safety and environmental standards,"
Sierra Club executive director Carl Pope said.
