Yea right, like that would ever happen. The "clocksuckers" only care about themselves, everyone knows that.
I agree with you. I say take a day off each week so they have to use JR. men. Spread the wealth is the spirit we should have as a union but that seems to have gone away. Like you say these guys are afraid of loosing a little because they are spoiled and afraid their families will not stand with them. Hay this all started years ago with the farmers as they sold them out everyone watched but no one did a thing (cause you can get veggies from other countries you didn't miss a meal) then they just keep going down the line. The middle class has to stop it. STOP BEING SCARED. STAND UP FOR THE RIGHT THING AND GET OUR JOBS BACK. STOP SELLING OUT

Should we boycott YRC also? Don't they have dealings in China? How about instead of whining about China made goods,start your own business and make your own products. Oh that's right can't make any profit in THIS COUNTRY! GOD FORBID A SMALL BUSINESS RUN BY AN AMERICAN. Go get a dark tan, and put a towel on your head and the U.S.(s.r.)will give you a motel to run or a gas station. The point is everyone needs to get their head out their @$$ and wakeup to what is happening to our country.

Well said and the truth. Don't shop at Wal Mart (or Target, or Dollar General, etc) and you won't be buying anything for your family as 90% is now made in China.

Try and produce it on your own and you face a litany of obstacles and red tape that no one can afford in this god-forsaken country of ours. The truth is that the US populace has absconded their authority over the government and instead of the congress working for us, and being paid by us as was planned, they have everyone thinking that we work for them and vote themselves pay raises while YRC and other companies are taking pay cuts and the sheeple just allow it to be done without a peep.

Is it any wonder why a politician will pay millions to get elected to a job that pays $175,000 a year when he/she can never hope to recoup what they spent to get elected? There's money under the table and from the lobbyists that's why.

The sad part is that the country has been sold out from under you, all the good paying jobs have been shipped overseas, they are trying to do away with the whatever good-paying jobs are left in this country and you let it happen! And now you're crying and saying silly things like "Don't buy from Wal-Mart", when the country as you knew it is no more.

It's not too l;ate to save this country, but the time is 3 minutes to midnight. GM failed and if YRC fails, I feel there is no hope left for this country.

So maybe we should start by taking the idea of if they are in office vote them out and if they are out vote them in. Stop giving these crooks life time careers. But we have to stand together to get any of this accomplished. As I've said before you have to be willing to sacrifice to win a war and this will be a war if the middle class stands together to get our country back. In your own words WAKE UP BEFORE IT'S TO LATE. Hell, our union doesn't even stand together anymore. To much greed and not enough thinking about your brothers.
