Back the original thread topic. The trucking industry is not the only one with declining wages. This is common among lots of industries. It is referred to as the decline in the standard of living among the middle class in the United States of America. The numbers are hard to refute, every recession gets longer, more and more people make less and less money. The effects are obvious everywhere. In going through my records of my business for the last 35 years I can prove it. X number of hours of labor used to result in wages = Y. Easily Y has declined in inflation adjusted $'s in my case by 30%. . But thats ok, I have an app on my smart phone to help me forget.

If you have lived through a plant closing instead of reading the spin on the news and google, you might understand there are many things that go into it.semi retired semi driver Thanks this. -
Your wisdom tells us that only the lazy benefit from unions. OK, what happens when a plant starts out as non union but then votes to unionize? Why did they vote to unionize? Did management run out of good workers and eventually have to scrape the bottom of the barrel and hire lazy workers until the lazy workers were the majority? Did the workers start good but get lazy after a while? Why did they vote to unionize?
