ON Strike!!

That wasn't Obama driving in that truck was it!
On the serious side I wish the best for all of you people. I support what you are doing and it really pisses my off that companies treat the very people that made their company great like garbage. This is not a economic issue, it is about taking care of the employees, it is about people on top being stubborn and hardheaded.
I hope and pray for you people for a quick resolution that favor's your side. Many people forget if it weren't for the unions, many people wouldn't enjoy what they have today.

We are happy to report that we are having success in our plan to get current in Washington and Oregon with our deliveries.
* As reported yesterday we have over twenty five (25) volunteers that have flown in last night and early this morning from Idaho, California, and Nevada to help the Auburn and Portland teams to get current.
* We are happy to report that thirteen (13) represented workers in Boise have chosen to come to work.
* We are expecting one hundred fifty (150) drivers from an outside vendor flying in the next three (3) days to help us get current and start our normal operation again.

So you have 600 drivers on strike, you have 25 volunteers and 150 replacements due in on Thursday. How does this company plan to return to normal operations when there are still 425 employees short? They certainly sound optimistic considering the operations were minimal at best over the last two nights, if they fly in 150 replacement drivers that don't know the cities, and don't know the customers they are somehow going to do the job of 600 trained professionals. They are lying, and bluffing, I think they are beginning to realize just how valuable their employees are.

I believe that the local union's are throwing a hail-marry to try to save themselves due to their failure to communicate and leadership. I've been talking with fellow driver about crossing the line and going back to work. Some drivers are considering this and some are just afraid of fellow teamsters coming after them. Might be something going on here either tonight or in the morning if we can get a couple of key, vocal drivers to come with us. Time to go back to work, sign a contract and get new leadership for future contracts. Goodbye to Brian D. and Rick H.!

We will see just who has the intestinal fortitude to be REAL teamsters. Those who cross picket lines shall be shamed for ever more. I hope you all are on the same page up in the great north west. Hopefully the majority of you have prepared for such a day as this. Debt will be your worst enemy. Good luck to you all. I wish I wasn't so far away, I would walk the line with you proud Teamsters. Any UPSF drivers helping out with the cause??? Teamster Elvis out.....

Crossing the line would be a selfish act. Everyone out on the picket line is there because of the company's greed. We ALL have bills to pay, families to feed..

Where is most action involving picket lines? I talked to my local down here in Cali. this morning and we are thinking about catching a flight to the North West this weekend to show support. Help me out brothers. Teamster Elvis out... If I wind up in handcuffs it will be a successful weekend.
Thanks for the offer. We need to keep this operation low key yet. Play by the rules, and the IBT has given us a bunch of them. The last thing we want is a restraining order on us...or worse.
The best thing you guys could do is shutdown the freight in CA that is being picked up By Oak, if there is any left. I would think that roving pickets down there would help.
In Portland the rent-a-cops have called the the police several time over perceived threats and twice over stupid actions of a few strikers. Of course they don't bother to call when the $cabs try to get it into ninth gear and drive right next to the curb. Or trying to run chase vehicles of the road or any of the other things. Sooner or later someone will get hurt.
This morning there was some 8-10 more profesional looking goons moving in. I am thinking that they are from the strike busting outfit, Modern Staffing Solutions, Best strike replacements replacement workers: Modern Staffing and Security Most Experienced strike replacements replacement workers: strike replacements Best - MMK4MKT that the owners have hired. The sham company for hiring drivers is Pacific Transport Services, Pacific Transport Services, LLC. Maybe post both of their e-mail addresses to every p*on site known.
Also boycott Jubitz Truck Stop as their motel the Portlander is housing temps along with Days Inn. Call the managers at these places and tell them there is better money than Oaks.
Thanks for the help.

What I see here on the line is a bunch of Chickens#!t drivers, dockworkers, and office personal who don't have a true voice of their own but to follow a lost leader. We are paying our dues to get dictated on what to do. What a joke. Yea, I'm upset that the company didn't bother to show up to negotiations, shame on them. Remember, we do not own the company and the company does not own us, just like the local. Some of you would cut the throat of your own union brother and sister the first chance you get so shut up!
