I guess you missed the part about accepting when things won't be changed and not confusing inaction with not listening.
I've been here more than twice as long as you have- you know what almost every one of us had to deal with when we started? Trucks with no air conditioning. Slow freight seasons, especially January to March. And if the equipment is unsafe, you don't drive it. They listened to you, you just thought you were better than the rest of us.
Here's what I think. I think you saw what was happening in Laredo, thought back to your positive experiences with unions, and jumped on the bandwagon over some petty BS. Now you're stuck on an island and the tide is rising, and it's frustrating. There's no silent majority ready to join you- but there is a huge, mostly quiet majority ready for you and your brothers to hit the road.
