Make no mistake, I know exactly why this strike was called. I'd just like people to admit the truth. You must forget that this board is full of employees on each side of the line and nobody's fooling anybody by claiming that this strike is because of labor violations or economic issues. Don't you think it's ironic that the timing of the strike coincides perfectly with the election? And since you'll do whatever the Teamsters tell you to do you're going to align with their candidate and their issues. The really sad thing is that there aren't enough questions being asked.
No lets really make this clear and simple, lies from the union messed this up and led workers down the path of doom. JustMe123, you are right, just look at all the campaign signs at the front gate. Is this a rally for a president and a governor or a strike?
I don't find this statement to be true. I believe lies and deception on oak harbors part is more in line. They have threatened the workers and their families with the propaganda videos they sent to our households. Also their medical proposal is so far away from the existing medical it is like comparing apples to zuchini. Their docks are empty and their yards are full of empty trailers. The workers from other terminals that are here is because there is no work at their own barns.No lets really make this clear and simple, lies from the union messed this up and led workers down the path of doom.
A lot of people in town are treating Oak Harbor like they have the plague. I am sure ohfl has spent more money trying to break the union than it would have cost to settle a contract. VERY WISE MEN THESE VP'S ARE!!!!!!
Hey AUBdriver when did the union members go out to tell the customers that the strike was over??? Thats right they didn't it was the company that lied to their own customers. Now that really is biting the hand that feeds you.
Why can't hardcore Teamsters and the locals answer in truth without getting off the path. justasking has made an accurate statement. the local has no idea what they have started and look at them walk around us like they are somebody. We pay them, remember that? I will kicked them to the streets if anyone from joint or international come up to me and ask where they could go get a good steak and they did in POR.
I'm just curious, what did Brian and all the BA's tell the members when they told them to go on strike? Something along the lines of, "company will come crawling back in 2 days max, you'll have your job back and everything else."
WOW WOW WOW!!!We are dug in for the long haul, and we will not give up until either the company quits trying to break us and finally reaches an agreement, or until they go out of business.
Which by my reckoning isn't too far off, given the state of their business levels, the massive amounts of money they are flushing down the toilet daily, and the pressure they are getting from some of their biggest suppliers to resolve this dispute.
And Ray M. AKA AUBdriver? You always were a worthless piece of detritus, whether you were driving or trying to attempt to be a dispatcher, neither of which you could pull off with any degree of credibility or skill. You wouldn't know anything if management didn't program you first with what to say up here or anywhere else.
You frankly deserve to be on the either side of the fence, huddled in that cold, empty, quiet terminal with nothing to do but waste time coming up with more lies and misinformation to spread around on message baords, trying to pretend like all of the other quasi-management pukes that your whole world isn't about to come spinning completely off of it's axis...
You have a swell day now...
