Why should I have to start over? The work place here changed. You may be a coward but I'm not. Many of us unlike you have spines and have decided we've been kicked enough. If you hate the union so much be sure to quit when we are proud members of the teamsters.
I hate to tell you this but leaving is not being a coward. I had to make that choice. It wasn't easy to leave but in the long run it was the right one. I asked myself why would you stay and work for someone that treats you like that? So I don't think I'm spineless or a coward. I hit Fred with my 2 weeks and took my talents to another ltl. All the name calling is counter productive and only shows fear. And negotiations is just that. What if Fred says "no"? Are you willing to strike? I've seen the parking lot at FedEx. nice pricy cars and quadcab trucks. You all need to be onboard. Linehaul, P&D and dock. Can you afford it? This is not as simple as a single vote.
