    The unions at this time are not the answer. Have you been to the border lately. The BAs are busy recruiting Mexican drivers..ah, I don't think the union is the right one to lead.

    Let's take up a vote from those who participate on this forum. We need 5 leaders to plan and organize, be they men or women..doesn't matter, a driver is a driver (or even a spouse too).

    I can think of two fine examples: Cybergal and BullHaulers wife. Both of them have my nomination.

    Add this if you're in CA.

    Explain to the media that the high cost of fuel is placing a burden on the "undocumented" (the media is afraid to call them Illegal here) drivers and they'll be out with the cameras and the mikes like flies on sh**.

    Then nail them with a banner and the speeches on live TV right in front (That's what's known in the used car biz as a "Bait and Switch" but F 'em we need the coverage) of City Hall in L.A. Mayor La Raza will be ####### around there too, as he always does.


    /The media could give a rats ### about American citizens here.

    Yeah threads are running together now........
    As I said in the other thread..........We could call it a protest against fuel prices...........I know all the Mexicans had one a couple of years ago and it was covered by all the news networks................Funny thing is they all participated and nobody got fired. That way the ones who have good customers can explain to them that it has nothing to do with them or your relationship with them........
    We still need to put an end to the crooked brokers(ourselves, without the Govmt) Once they learn that they don't get paid if we don't haul, they would have to change. Try getting everyone together for that.:biggrin_25513::biggrin_25513: Bronc........Quit lookin at Brickmans PeePee

    diesel is 4.49 in Clare Michigan, tonight, if ever you guys are going to strike, now seems the time to do it. diesel is getting so high it is driving truckers off the road, my neighbor has had his parked for a while now. How soon, before companies start laying off drivers?
