Too little,...too late, Rollin62. Since deregulation,....occurring about when you were born,.....many drivers had a choice. Union,...or non-Union. I had to make that choice 9 times. The ones that are non-Union wish and want,.....but will not act,...either individually or collectively. The ones that fought it out know exactly why they are in a Union company,...........and realize trying to explain it to someone in a non-Union company is a waste of breath. The only time a non-Union driver thinks about joining a Union is about a half-hour after he's been fired,...and about a week after he's retired. Other than that,....he blocks out all thought about organizing, and just concentrates on his weekly paycheck quest. I told guys 10 years ago, that WHEN the Union becomes irrelevant in trucking, we will all lose control of our price of labor, and our value will be decided by the sales department. That's the point we're at now. So.......you say we should become MORE timid? What do we have to lose? This contract is just the beginning,....once it ratifies, look for a re-opener every 6 months. The downward spiral has begun. Wall Street has created this "recession" as the perfect tool to keep organized labor down until it no longer exists. And you sound more than willing to accept the chains and manacles ,....to bow your head and hope for "better" times. Wall Street can give you the answer when better times will be here......Never......Either you fight,....or you bow your head and accept defeat.
