Vanguard and Black Rock are on top of Black Rock.You guys are way to hung up on Vanguard and Blackrock. Both of these firms are companies that invest money for clients through Mutual funds and ETF’s as well as Index funds. Each fund depending on its objectives may or may not own a particular company within that fund. They move money around in them all the time. Each fund has a manager or a team of managers that closely monitor and trade to make there clients good returns for their portfolio. Blackrock and Vanguard do not own major portions of trucking companies, their clients money that are invested on behalf of the clients are the ones invested in the company. I would venture to say every Teamster Pension has money invested in a Blackrock or Vanguard fund. So a Teamster pension may own a non union trucking company stock as well as a Chinese stock.
