In the cab of my city tractor, I have what the mechanic groused about as "furniture"........my ol' Teamster entertainment center,......my radio box complete with CB and......wait for it.......a cassette player! It even gets FM........And , yes,....the CB is on all the time.......
And that used to be the way to pass information in trucking........imprecise and very localized.......
Now we have the internet........and It's turned out to be not much better than a CB. All of us on here,...and other sites.....railed against how bad the previous contract was, and recommended everyone vote it down.
Yet it passed on the first vote in most of the country.......except for the 7 supplemental areas that voted it down briefly and got to "re-vote"
Courage, information and the fortitude to strike starts at the top of a strong Union,..........and we had Tweedledee and Tweedledum leading us last contract......
Or....carrying it right to the top.....Moe, Larry, and Curly.......
Not much courage or information last contract. I guess we have to hold our collective breath to see what sort of leadership we have now......
