The guys are getting $300 to $500 perweek depending on the local. Also just a note The International Labor Relations Forum has found Oak Harbor in vilolation of International Labor laws. Still waiting to see how this plays out.

Yes it is amazing. To think that they are paid just about the same, for being on strike as an OTR driver at a big company who is working.

Nobody wants to be on strike. It does not benefit anyone. At least we know that we have a voice to speak up for us inlike most.

Drive safe

That's right . I was surprised to see a union official admit no one ever wins in a strike . [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. .
Was also surprised workers stayed out to resist a pension plan to replace the Central States Pension Fund which is losing billions of dollars . UPS also pulled out of that plan .
