Not needed I’m cool and said what I have to say. I won’t feed into him because it’s giving him what he wants and allowing us to move off topic.Looks like Streaker and OV need a time out!!
One thing to keep in mind is this is a very hot topic for the trucking industry. Billions in dollars for the top brass could be at steak . If you think for one minute that they are above social influence in any public forum you are kidding yourself . Social influencers abound these days . They are vital today’s Corporations and politicians. Drivers hold the cards on this legislation by simply their vote . That scares the hell out of these companies that be it from it staying in place . If you think this forum or any other is immune from it you would be wrong.

Personally I will not be affected much. The ltl side of the company pays by the hour and o/t. Yes, even us linehaul are on the clock. BTW most terminals are hiring!!
Whatever the case with Streaker , I really don't think it matters. As far as the points Streaker makes , Triplex did a great job of arguing counterpoints.
I did not see Streaker argue against being hypocritical when asked about turning down a raise to help his employer.
In this country , we don't shy away from trying to fix what's wrong , or repair what's broken because we are used to things being broken or not working right.

I was never asked about turning down a raise, but the answer is no I wouldn't. That's not hypocritical because I would never ask someone to take a pay cut.
I think you're referring to the question I asked OV that he never answered because I'm an influencer get paid big bucks by the elites.
We have the power to
We have the full power to initiate change still. (That’s scares the hell out of those in power. )Multiple ways to do it . The problem currently is getting the correct information to make the right choice. The change can be made when we are cohesive. There are unfortunately because of the world we live in and the expanse of social media too many influencers that do not have our best interest at heart. It becomes very confusing and many happy come disenchanted with the process.
The power is still in your vote for now.

It might be helpful to to think about this issue in more general terms. For many years, it seems the general public has been ignorant about the workings of the supply- chain and how dependent it is upon trucks and drivers. The pandemic and it’s related issues changed all that. Nobody really gave a damn before. Go to the store, get your stuff. Easy.
All of a sudden, everyone was being acutely affected by an already weak supply chain that was now being stretched to the limit. This caused Americans and businesses to start putting pressure on the government to do something. The Fed DOT did an audit and identified this issue (among many others) as a contributor to turnover in the industry, and a hinderance to recruitment (when compared to other blue collar professions)
Obviously this affects OTR more than LTL, but the question is; knowing how critical the trucking industry is to the the economy, is it in the long term interest of the United States to fix this issue in order to ensure a sustainable and efficient supply chain, and will fixing this issue (or not fixing it) attract more employees into this career field to accomplish this goal?
Seems like an easy answer to me.
BTW, there is no such thing as a “legal fiduciary responsibility to shareholders“.
This is a myth.
“On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world. Shareholder value is a result, not a strategy… your main constituencies are your employees, your customers and your products…”

Former CEO, General Electric

So much for his caring about employees...
Welch acquired new businesses and did not hesitate to use layoffs and outsourcing to streamline them, sometimes leaving shattered, embittered communities behind. He faced criticism - particularly after he retired from GE - for his cavalier attitude about offshoring and shutting U.S. plants, a theme that has grown more potent since the election of President Trump.
The U.S. industrial belt is dotted with communities devastated by GE’s downsizing. At its peak, for instance, GE employed 30,000 at a sprawling integrated industrial plant in Schenectady, New York, that now employs fewer than 3,000.
'Neutron Jack' Welch, who led GE's rapid expansion, dies at 84
Jack Welch, who upended the business world in the 1980s and 1990s by transforming General Electric Co <GE.N> from a stolid maker of light bulbs and washing machines into the most valuable U.S. public company, has died at 84, GE said on Monday.

It's horrible, but it's all about the money. Nobody cares about those jobs, they only care about the +400B dollars over the course of 20 years. Evidence of this is other CEOs following his lead.

I believe what he said was correct in principle. It’s too bad he didn’t do what he said.
