Everybody takes a paycut but hoffa and the boys get raises?? Who are they REALLY lookin out for??????

Is this fact? Or are you assuming? Does the economy figure in to any of your accusations? I think Tyson is doing a excellent job protecting my interests and yours also. Although I can't for the life of me understand your way of thinking. That being said have a Merry Christmas and Healthy and Prosperous New Year.:popcorn: P.S. Teamsters are more deversified, it is more than just Freight these Days. Minus your way of thinking, we will once again rise and be a force to be reckened with. Peace out Brother.:1036316054: History repeats itself.

Glad to hear your doing so well. Have a nice Holiday Season. BTW you ruined your post by including the words (ALL and MOST)Contridicts and Sterotypes the pro voters, I'm sure a few are fine financially, and some might even work a straight 40 hour week/or less in order to help those on Layoff. Golly-Gee I just ruined my post by using (few and some) I assumed they were not, employing your (Keeping up to the Jones THEORY) IMO YOU should have made your post in the format of Questions, thus giving each of the accused the chance to answer individually, but to each their own. GOOD DAY

I had a "before noon guaranteed shipment" about a year ago. I had to jump a draw bridge just like the one that they had to jump.....WITH A HOLLAND TRUCK!:toxic: My TM said that the freight had to get there at any cost.:butt kiss: I made it on time, but I did tip over some other freight with the jump. Rough landing.:hysterical:

364.00, come on driver that shouldn't be a problem in michigan....:big laugh::big laugh:you will still make more money than most people in that broke state.... Vote yes and still be unemployed, Let me know HOW that taste, you should know around April..:TR10driving03:

You are right, at $364.00 per week, I would still be considered "living large" in this state. It has been bad here for so long that most have run out of unenJoyment money. Even with the dozen or so extension that they have received.:hysterical: If I vote "yes" (which I did) and we still go under in April, I voted myself an extra three months of pay and benefits. At least $12,000 more in wages, and it will get me through most of the winter. There are no jobs available around here. An extra 3-4 months get us closer to summertime, where more jobs could come available. That is part of my thinking process.:1036316054:
