    It's a little unclear what laws they are against or what they would like to see changed.

    No sane person is going to strike in this economy.

    Yup, time for the yearly strike thread. I had a face book non trucking friend post it on my page, and I then explained to her, why truckers won't strike, there is no more brotherhood, in the industry, like we saw when we were kids, and our fathers were driving.

    There are too many "types of drivers" all with their own unique issues that we didn't have 30 years ago and beyond. So it's going to be very hard to gather any broad support at any level. Far too may "young drivers" with no frame of reference on the roads today. Too many getting home on weekends in regional operations and feeling their job "isn't really all that bad". And these same individuals in their large numbers are too worried about other personal issues to have time to be concerned with their job issues. (Many are clueless)

    Yes, the logging rules apply to all evenly (for the most part) but it's going to be hard to garner any sympathy saying "we want to work more hours and become more dangerous to motorists" (Because that's what the average uninformed citizen will hear) and that will just exacerbate the issues for drivers and perhaps even create still more problems.

    Have to have a common voice and message that makes sense for a "strike" to be beneficial , and there isn't one, period.

    How come none of yaz had the gumption to answer my thread? It's some Tea Bag psycho anyway. Maybe you like his causes!

    Maybe a mod can merge them.


    Read down a little further. He's not sure either. He just heard about the word strike so he is making it about everything that makes him mad. Cuckoooooooo!
