It seems he did well with ABF. And I'm sure he'll do well with TForce and UPS.
What did he do as a Teamster pre-2006?
In 2006, O’Brien was elected president of Local 25, and has been re-elected six times as of 2022.[6] In the fifteen-year span of his presidency, the local’s membership has increased by 30%, notably organizing a group of more than 1000 parking lot attendants, many of whom were immigrants from East Africa.[6]
The women are drivers now. This isnt 1960. Most people when they marry starting off have very little but they have love. Ive known families that have been poor their whole lives but they loved one another. You have a strange outlook. Im thinking you may need therapy. Sounds like you maybe have went off the deep end. What ever happens life will go on. Ive been laid off before and been with companies that closed yet life went on. If yellow is where you work then its your job but not your whole life, and this women demand this burden of men. What is that. A lot of families the woman is the bread winner. Bro its going to be ok.
He joined Teamsters Local 25 in Charlestown, Mass. at the age of 18 working in the rigging industry as a heavy-equipment driver in the Greater Boston area. O’Brien became a business agent in 1999 and, in 2006, the youngest President in Local 25’s 128-year history.
T force can make profit by selling all the assests they have and come out ahead Yellow not so much.
Women initiate 75% of divorces. And it's almost always over money or lack there of. Just because you know an exception, doesn't make it the rule.
Is this some kind of gender discrimination or something? Is it legal to use a percentage of a certain group and categorize something they do?
I love that post.
I've been telling my generation that came in from 2014 to present. We need OUR union to step up (US in general). We need our union leaders to let us know and we need to set a bar up high on ourselves to be able to compete vs the non union wether we like it or not we have to compete. Running 1-3 bills and hour isn't crap. We need to be running 5+ bills hourly and us as P&D need to step up too and deliver and pick up all Freight but first it starts by taking care of freight. We need each and everyone of us to hold ourselves accountable. The company can't do nothing. But how about we (Teamsters Union) show them how to run it. We can't sit back and wait to see if we will be open another month. We should've been giving them a reason why we are still open and why we deserve what we the teamsters ask for in wages and benefits. We need to be the backbone of this company and not management. Simply taking care of each pallets will make a difference and loading and unloading with care will make a difference.I am sure you folks already know where I am going.
The market is brutal.
Life is brutal.
A home is 350k, car 50k, plus all the stuff for a family
Teamsters, YOU are The union, YOU are the company, YOU hold ALL the value.
The bar has been raised.
Teamsters, YOU set the bar of excellence. Day after day YOU are there to serve America.
YOU are the reason this country has life.
YOU deserve to have a life.
"A fair days work for a fair days pay", is all we ever asked, for over 120 years.
Cheers to you Teamster.
The whole earth sees you. Nonunion sees YOU fighting and knows you took a stand for everyone. "Solidarity, Unity, to serve". We have been here this whole time.
Now is your time. It is an honor to be called Teamster. Because of YOU.
Thank you for standing up.
I totally agree. Be a professional. I see casuals come on the dock and leave after a few weeks, saying the environment is terrible. They run circles around senior dock workers. And yep, we leave a ton of freight on the shippers dock. Morale in general was never good. After this latest announcement its at an all time low. If you try to be supportive, you are knocked. Honestly Im over it all. This is my last year of trucking.
Prima Donna road drivers think they are too good to work the dock and do physical labor.
We, old-timers, gave you everything on a silver platter, heater, AC, PS, air ride, heated mirrors. auto transmissions, just to name a few.
I don't know if anybody told you but a lot of our wives make more money than us and are totally self sufficient without us. You are not in 1950's Merica anymore. You might want to rethink your thinking about women unless you just want to keep paying for it at truck stops.
Excellent point. Divorce statistics also show that if the woman makes more than the man, in general, not every time, but its predominant, that she will leave.
The only reason it exists is to keep your pay down due to supply and demand.
