What I expected is if someone/anyone is going to make statements regarding facts not publicly available, then those individuals offer up their insight into why they believe their statements. Anyone can make blatantly false statements.
For example, Sacs says I'm a "lazy azz" but I'm a road driver at ABF and up until last month I owned 2 small business (I sold 1 because I just didn't have the time to work it), I have a small farm with several hay pastures (not the business i own), i keep up a nice garden, and because ABF turned their trucks up and did a change of operations (took road drivers out of terminals 059 and 222) I find myself driving over 3200 miles a week (starting and ending in Atlanta traffic). I make a lot of money, over 6 figures, but I bust my a$$ for it. So being called a "lazy azz" is a blatantly false and untrue statement.
I think one of the hazards of being able to...post anonymously,...is that you're going to have to,......as Shakespeare put it...."Suffer the slings and arrows of.... outrageous misfortune.."
"Outrageous Misfortune"...in this case, Brother,.. means having to weather indiscriminate insults,....warranted or not....
I don't consider ANY truck driver, or freight person,...lazy.....Having done the job myself,....I understand the sometimes superhuman effort it takes just to get a...."normal"...day in trucking done,.....
....hence, my addressing you guys in the archaic term: "Brothers"........
I think you had a point you were trying to make regarding how employers treat their Labor force,.....Not sure if I agreed with your point,....
Hey!.....Even your erstwhile Correspondent, here,......has been on the receiving end of scurrillious, scatalogical taunts and baseless insults........
........I reflect back,...many years ago.....of the schoolyard,....and.....
.....I don't do things that way..........
Anyway,.........I don't think OD treats their employees any better that they have to,...to prevent any sort of organizing uprising....
It's a shame that their employees have resigned themselves to....handing over a part of their weekly pay to their employer,......for the "privilege" of having OD getting a...group health plan. The Teamsters have one, too,.....but we don't rebate back part of our pay......
