Ok, let me see, I work New Penn. for years, in the eyes of the industry as well as the general public, this co. is the PRIEMER carrier for overnight deliveries in the northeast. this is also a co. driven by the TEAMSTERS. how is it that we can be lazy but still be successful after all these years ? this guy's opinion is baseless.

Has it ever occurred to any of the hard-core union guys that someone could have had a bad personal experience with unions? From his first-person perspective he is dead on, and from your first-person perspective you are dead on. Good lord.. His post was objective and well written.. That was HIS experience..

To be fair, the New-Penn driver in my new area is as good as they get. The New-Penn driver where I ran for years was kicked out of customers right in front of my eyes. I have seen one of my fellow Conway drivers banned from an account. It goes both ways.

let me make myself a little clearer for you. the reason i said his post was was a waste is because he lumped all of us union drivers together. i could give a damn about his experiences in life, what people shouldn't do is pre-judge someone or a group of people just because they're Teamster drivers. to him, we're all sc*mbags who are lazy. now mind you, I could run off a bunch of names of A-holes that I unfortunately work with but i would never compare them to the other stand-up guys on the job or anyone at other union shops. evidently it seems every time he sees a ABF,YRC,UPS, etc., truck roll by he is disgusted. that's what being predjudice is all about

If he had a bad personal experience, then more than likely he brought it on himself.

I know a man (wont mention his name) who was employed at ABF at one time
He came to work at the same company (non union where were treated better than the rest) that I worked for. He always bad mouthed the Teamsters saying they screwed him over. We found out later that he was fired from ABF for theft. That is one thing that will get you fired, and your union shouldn't stand behind a thief. Anyway, this guy may be just like the guy I know. Someone does something really stupid and when it finally catches up with him and he looses his job he blames the union because they couldn't help him instead of placing blame where it is due.

Most all the non union minded people will listen to crap like this and actually believe it.

Well, we found something to agree on....thieves are about the most worthless pieces of flesh out there, and even the union doesn't do a whole lot to defend one, because it truly does affect the integrity of every honest person out there...
