I tried to post a link but they won't let me. Look at the last post of page one here. The 'fact sheet' is much easier to read and understand.
Read link on last post on page one of this thread. It just make the whole thing a little more understandable.
I have seen some comments in here about the drivers slowing down because of the 'hourly pay' thing. I drove for over 40 years, fortunately not a lot of them in California, but now that I am retired, and snowbirding, I have driven quite a few miles in California, and having California truckers slow down would be the greatest thing to happen in California short of Gov. Moonbeam stepping down. In case you guys haven't noticed the sign, even if the car speed limit is 65 or 70, the speed limit for 'all vehicles towing' is 55. As I am now driving a Motorhome towing a car, I prefer to obey the speed limit, and when I do I take my life in my hands with the Large Cars blowing my doors off. I have often said that if California wanted to solve all of their monetary problems, all they would have to do is start ticketing speeding trucks. Presto, problem gone.
In all the years I drove (over 40), I drove for companies whose rules and regulations were that we obeyed the speed limit, including the last one for 30 years. I know we had new drivers who quit a good job because the company expected them to obey the law.
Who's Spot?
Your point is well taken. When our 'work group' voted to decertify in 2002, the union filed an UFLP with the NLRB. It was agreed to locally, but when the company appealed it to D.C., the NLRB denied it so fast it was funny. "No basis what so ever for this filing."
Are you really that naive?
Never said "I" was an expert, that's your spin. Also never compared this case to a murder trial, simply used the OJ case as an example that there is no such thing as a sure thing when it comes to law. Again your spin, or your the only person that's not able to differentiate between a point being made and taking what was said out of context to prove your point. Either way it looks childish. Belittling me because I trust my friend and family over what you say is laughable. I surround myself with people who are more educated then me, (present company excluded) and are experts In their field. I guarantee they have all put in more time and work becoming who they are then any of us driving a truck. I learned how to do this job in 3 weeks and that's only because I had to use all 3 weeks. I don't proclaim to be a expert, but when I find one I'm damn smart enough to listen.
