You can sugar coat it however you want. His old man scabbed on his brothers and his Union. There are many different ways to handle it. Crossing the picket isn't one of them. During this wonderful career I've had over the years, I never once crossed a picket. I worked non Union for a few years and told many a dispatcher to come drive the truck if they wanted it to move across that picket line. My truck never crossed. Never was fired either.
I have walked the line more than once and what wasn't covered with my personal savings and strike fund money was made up doing odd jobs for cash. Got another job outside the trade for a week. A trade Unionist protects the investment. Made sure I was on the line during my assigned time. The trouble we have today is not many want to stand up for their trade. Why do you think we have been sliding all these years? Too many have been pissing on what many bled and died for to achieve for all of us. Union and non Union alike. My old man would puke if he saw what was going on in this trade the last few years.
I've never had too either but I saw it work out well for my old man. The company paid to move him and he had the best job he ever had once he was relocated. His seniority went with him. He went from a barn with mediocre seniority to top of the board at the other barn. One interesting point was even though the company was sure that he would be put out of work, shortly after his transfer, the company began hiring again. It just proves why the Union always questions the company numbers and how much freight will be moving.

Yes, the scorecard is gone. But why is it gone? Did fred plan on taking the scorecard away around the time he did? Or is it because he knows that the union was knocking at his door, with the drivers holding the unions hand. So when you get a majority to vote no, do you really think fred will keep the scorecard off the table? Haha hck no, and to that note, he will have managers go after the known yes voters and make their life a living hell. The teamsters arent my fathers teamsters of the 70's n 80's, (r.i.p pops), but they are my teamsters. And they r only as strong as its members. I really do like that most posts on the fdex n conway pages r more less peaceful n non vulgur posts, n debates. Good luck drivers, and only you knows whats best for your family. Im a 4th generation teamster, and i dont know what life is outside a horsemens logo,

You don't have to. Were not striking fella.
Hey Hey not all liberals are Union thumping Teamsters.
Ah but I hope you do so I can.
No, it is not the same Teamsters Union as the 70's. I know, I went through two Teamster strikes in the seventies as a member of Detroit local 299.
They are the same how? And what picket line?

And when negotiations are complete the union will require that all employees who crossed the picket line will be terminated before work resumes. And your buddies at the company will agree. Then what Huckleberry?

Not talking about striking, talking about people who take the benefits of the union in a RTW state without joining. Because in a grievance you still get representation, whether you deserve it or not. IMHO if your not willing to join you don't deserve it.
Same Teamsters, bringing intimidation with them where ever they go.
Don't you get it. You are what they are. No free thinking aloud. Been here 16 years not going anywhere. I work for fedEx not the teamsters.
Don't want any benefits from the Teamsters. If there is an issue I will resolve it myself.

Your coworkers are the union. They aren't some third party applying for a job. I think you should show your coworkers a little respect.
