    Members of several city unions joined together for a protest that blocked Center City streets earlier today. WHYY reporter Tom MacDonald attended the rally where dock workers complained about a planned move of fruit imports from Philadelphia to a port in Gloucester City – a decision they say is aimed at cutting costs. The protesters are calling for a boycott of Del Monte products. Check back in for more on this story from Tom MacDonald.
