I do know all about that and how it started. I also know what it was like in the 1970's and 1980's. What's the saying - "As Ye Sow, So Shall Ye Reap".

You're right Triplex that's the boys. We had some great representation back then. No on the job problems what so ever. Ah, the good old days!!!!

If the Teamsters Union were to try and organize one of the large nonunion ltl truck lines today, if their members even wanted Teamster representation, they would need to re-establish some old ties.
