The grass is not always greener on the other side . This is what the industry has become. Go Union or go home.You guys are at their mercy.The management at WTVA, although in it's third generation, has failed it's employees miserably. It's been almost ten years people,.......ten years since any appreciation was shown to the employees with a pay raise. Ever increasing demands have been placed on the employees for more production with absolutely NO gratitude given for a job well done. And it would seem that the powers that be are always sending someone around to the terminals to try and discover the problem without ever thinking that somewhere among their ranks lies the problem. In fact, most of their ranks are indeed their biggest problem. There are plenty of other reasons why it is apparent that the company is dying a slow and painful death. Far too many to name here. However, from just one former employee to you all, if you can get out, go! There are other companies out here who would be proud to have you and are willing to show you how much they appreciate your efforts.

Good luck to all that are laid off or find different employment.

Wilson went thru an organizing effort some years ago and a bunch of drivers were fired. But back during those days, there were only a few trucking companies located around Fisherville and the company really had the "upper hand". During the years, major trucking companies have moved into the Valley and if a driver with a good record certainly can find employment. The competition for freight is "fierce" here, so I really do not believe that Wilson would or could take the same position as they did back in the early 70s.
Well, take it or leave it .Complaining gets you no where!
