Schneider Using Fear Tactics Against Unions in Orientation

lol Sure you were.

 

I work for a nonunion company and I get paid for all my time --- and I am thankful for the unions that helped to make this possible. (Its no coincidence that the best paying trucking jobs are in the LTL sector where there is still a significant union presence.)
Back in 1980, the heyday of the Teamsters, before deregulation and union busting, the average truck driver earned about $40K, the same as today. Corrected for inflation, that would be over $100K today.
I don't want to work for a union company, because it's a different culture, and one that I wouldn't fit into well, but I am still glad the union exists and I appreciate how it continues to stand against forces that would degrade trucker compensation even further.

 

Can't he just not make the claim instead off doing due diligence? Seems like it would be easier?

Also is the mos for an e6 infantry no contain a letter close to a on the keyboard? If so, to be fair he might have fat thumbed it. My thumbs have been especially fat as of late.

 

Yeah because 11B30 is so similar to 11A on the keyboard.

 

Okie dokie. Didn't know if it 11q or 12a. I can figure out officer insignia, and know that more stripes is better for enlisted personnel but I struggle mightily with mos and ranks.

 

So does @p608

 

Which is fine and understandable if you never served. HOWEVER you are not CLAIMING to be retired.

 

You miss the point entirely. Let me remind that reply was in response to your statement:

Obviously this misleading statement was not made up by you. You are just parroting a political talking point put out their by to mislead and frame an untruth. To get workers to believe that a raise in wages actually works against their best interest. That they loose more by wage increase then they gain.

In no economic model is labor a massive part. Significant - maybe, sometimes. However, in all cases their is a pass through factor that reduces the impact of increased wages on the price of products. Not a multiplier affect like talking point statement implies their is.

Nothing misleading at all. Your commenting on facts not pertinent to the discussion and diverting attention from the issue. The point of that link was only to describe how economic factors work in contrast to your misleading political talking point.

We are truck drivers, not PHD students in economics. Obviously, we are not going to comb the multitude of dissertations to find the details of every industry and wage level.

Correct, which goes to prove your assertion made with the talking point prior is wrong and misleading.

The corollary to your talking point would provide every O/O to be a millionaire just by raising their own wages. There would be no other market forces involved in the price of their product. They could raise there wage as they pleased and the market would simply absorb all the costs. Of, course that is not the case.

Of course they do. Just like every trucking company is 'short on drivers. '

No one said is is insignificant.

 

All Corporations need a government to protect them. The investment class need laws and rules and the power of the government to exist. A Union is no different.

It is best not to take a knife to a gun fight.

 

But I'm running retreads and I'm tired - doesn't that make me retired?
