Where are the dreams you speak of? Most of us just want to work for a fair days work for a fair days pay and then go home. Although I must say, I do enjoy getting paid for every minute I am on company time unlike before the contract. This contract is beneficial to the company (as you say) But its also very beneficial to the employee. We have all gained compared to the "O" days.

It sounds like they don't see any reason to join the Union and they don't trust the people involved. Then when they are called a bunch of ** when they stand up and say no, that doesn't seem like it is going to convince them how good we have it with the Union.

I would rather have people join who believe in the Union and who want to work together with the rest of us to improve pay and benefits. Perhaps they are satisfied with what they have and they have good management down there that they can work with. As long as things don't change and they believe that they won't change, how are you going to force them to join?

There is a reason we vote, people who are forced to join, won't be behind you when you need them.

I disagree with you on there not being any changes. I like being paid for wait time and actual time for drops and hooks. It used to be if they screwed up, it cost me time. Now it cost them money. I also like seniority being protected instead of just letting the supervisor pick his favorite. It hasn't turned this into trucking heaven, but I would say overall, I am happy with being a part of the Union.
