IRUDEDOG I work down the street from you in Bloomington Ca. at Roadway. I wish you luck in your organizing. Please remember that if you need help Local 63 is just down the street in Rialto off Valley + Riverside, and I can say that they have a pretty good crew. Have a Great Day and GOD BLESS!:weight_lift:

Oh yea, what have they organized lately? What are they waiting for, Roadway's permission?

I hear Roadway now allows the teamster's flag to fly their flag right along with Roadway's (local 63 newsletter). That's nice, I hope you guys never have to go on strike like we did in 1994, you will be in a world of hurt. Roadway is married to the leadership in that local.

Apostolic,

That was very well spoken from you and I can relate to your experiences too. I really embrace your will to speak the truth openly and even if it is negative for the union too. The union is very much needed in todays world and I believe it is unable to grow due to the fears of speaking some of the hard truths. Thank you, brother, for the insight of your walk in the IBT. In closing, I am always here if you need anything in the future too! Thanks again.

lets say fxfe got the union in,what are the odds if they have an open shop because i dont want nothing to do with the union, and the attitude that i see in some people i know they would vote yes if they could, i was just curious
