They may not charge for Equipment ,but you can not argue that every company has something about them that may not seem right . and there is no such thing as perfect company.
You are right i probably would not be making i am making if not for the Teamster , but i also know i would be making MORE if the TEAMSTERS would have shown a little backbone and fought for my job like they guareenteed to do .
You my friend come across like so many of the EX TEAMSTERS(unemployed) that i used to work with ,They drank the koolaid and now after 20 or so years with a company have started over.Just so you know my previous company bought out there largest nonunion competeter and then DID AWAY with UNION with no fight at all. So you can push your Agenda all you want but some of us think it's NUTS to pay union dues for no representation . What makes that any different than buying your own pallett Jack?Except you never finish paying them and the amount only increases.

Yea,yea, yea, the Brotherhood walks on water and all that jazz......

In case you hadn't noticed we don't work for those outfits and really don't care to.

AMEN !!!!!!!

So next summer while enjoying the labor day
weekend, be sure to thank a union member for getting it off. If it was'nt 4 them your sorry would be working

A M E N !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow ya got me there The local i used to work out of local also got me other 364 days off without pay by not fighting my old company(Who bought out our non union Competion and then Eliminated the union) ,they were willing to sacrafice 35 union jobs to save another 100 that were elimnated only 6 months later . So keep drinking the KOOLAID

Why do you keep bringing up the Teamsters? I'm sure all of the other non-union carriers don't make their employees pay for freight handling equipment to deliver their customers freight. Next thing they'll try to do is get you drivers to pay for tires if you flat spot them.
