Below is a story picked up from CBS News.  Apparently UNITE HERE is in the process of trying to force card-checks on the employees of Prudential Overall Supply.

Company intimidation is not new for Big Labor and while UNITE HERE has neither taken credit for the fire or been linked at this early time to the fire, it is not beyond the realm of possibilities.  For more information on the problem of union sponsored violence go to: http://www.nrtwc.org/facts-issues/fuva.htm

For the story in question read below:

CERRITOS, Calif. Los Angeles County firefighters put out a big rig fire in Cerritos early on Monday morning.

The tractor-trailer was parked in a driveway in an industrial area at Valley View Avenue and Artesia Boulevard when the blaze began, said Los Angeles County Fire Department spokeswoman Cheryl Sims.

The fire was reported about 12:15 a.m. and put out about 12:40 a.m., Sims said. No injuries were reported.

The big rig belonged to Prudential Overall Supply company, according to camera crews at the scene.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire, and arson has not been ruled out, Sims said.
