You are all of course entitled to how you feel, what you think etc. You do what you feel you must do for the sake of your own ignorance’s and your messed up way of thinking and your own huge egos.

OAKH will be around for many years to come regardless of what you are doing. So give it your best shot.

The Vander Pol families are decent and good people no matter what you say. Calling me names doesn’t change anything. Except to show how petty you are.

I am glad to hear the solidarity is strong at both barns, I hope the Unions involved have the moxie to do what needs to be done. This is a carefully orchestrated defense, that has been outlined by well paid, highly skilled labor consultants the soul purpose of which is to deny you all the simplest things in life. They have tasted the non-union fruit in California and other outlying terminals and they love it! The idea of taking care of the people who take care of you is dead, I honestly thought they would wait until the old man died before they would attack their employees so fervently.

I say break the contract now on the grounds that they are negotiating directly with employees that have elected to have union representation. The BA should be at these meetings as well to call them on the BS in front of all the employees. If you were to walk now, that would be beneficial because it would not give them time to arrange replacements to fill your shoes, thats what happened in the Western Beverage Strike in Eugene earlier this year, its your job, and they are willing to play dirty, then why give them the advantage of being able to line up in advance?

Why should the most professional employees in all of LTL be treated this way? Imagine how much money they must save by all the safe miles driven, the low turnover rate,, the givebacks compared to the Master contract!? They don't care, they want more and more. IF we are bleeding you dry SHOW US THE BOOKS you greedy motha@#ers!!! Until then,

see ya on the lines!

The company has been very careful when it comes to unfair labor charges. They are right on the line by telling everyone that "this is for our non-union employees". That gets the company off the hook but we all know that what they are saying is also directly pointed at their union employees.

Unofficial slow-down, kinda the same thing. Plus all you need is one employee to say they said something to them in private, it doesn't have to happen at a meeting, any takers?

You are trying to encourage someone to be totally dishonest and lie. That is just morally wrong. And they are aware of what you are trying to do, to accomplish. It won't work Silvertooth.

Dishonest, like lying to you employees telling them that this new system will offer anywhere near the security and quality of care and retirement they are receiving now? When it comes to someones livelihood, and the heath of their family, rules and laws become secondary to pure emotion. I have no problem breaking a law, or being dishonest, if it were incremental in saving the heath care and retirements of hundreds of my Teamster brothers, I would do it gladly.
