I don't follow LTL companies and how they work because I'm not one in a few months shy of 30 years out here I'm still not one -
I'm surprised Walmart isint Union. Would save them a lot of money and they would make more. They would be able to make prices higher because of the Union argument (even if not true, prices would still go up for that profit). They would be able to pay drivers less as unions only care about money so Walmart giving the Union money would mean they still run things... Disney world is all Union and that's why hourly pay for employees is still at $9/hr there. My sister works there and says out of her $9/hr the Union gets $1 as dues. She was suspended for something silly that a visitor claimed she saw her do and she was told by Disney to call her Union rep... Phone number is disconnected. She went to the website, had a different phone number, that line was disconnected too... So she ended up being suspended 6 months because of the Union Disney could not fire her but my sister could not get a different job because of the pending case and she still owed dues... After 6 months she finally was able to get a proper address (as they do not have a Union customer service phone she comes to find out) she went to the place of business (4th address in 6 months) and they said oh we forgot to update or address on the website and they will call Disney to get her back to work... Sure enough her case was dismissed and she was back to work and her next 4 months paychecks were $0 because she had to catch up on dues from the past 6 months of not working.... Unions are great ideas. Their website still has the wrong address and phone number on it.... Before Union was introduced into Disney ticket prices were only $72 per person per day... The week it went active... Up to $92. Huge profit. Again I'm curious why Walmart is not Union already... Most people need Walmart to survive on foods and stuff. If Walmart gets Union they can easily increase their profit by 10-20% minimum since they employ nearly 10% of Americans the argument could easily be manipulated for such to the public...
Northeasterner and foggy Thank this. -
I'm pro old school union. The type of Union that demanded that a worker gets paid fairly for their work. They understood that a business is there to make money. If you were a crap worker your co-workers and union were happy to get rid of you just as much as the company.
I can't stand the new unions. Over demand so the companies are not profitable. Lazy workers whining about having to work and then taking their time to make sure that it can be spread out.
I ran Chevron dedicated fuel delivery for an outside carrier when the Chevron terminal manager offered me a job. More money, better benefits and it was Union. I'm glad I didn't like the schedule and turned it down. A year later they got rid of all their trucks and they're lazy union workers.
A good union is great for the workers, a bad Union will kill the goose that laid the golden egg.Northeasterner, foggy, drvrtech77 and 2 others Thank this. -
So all you guys think all the new drivers are dummies, huh?
Northeasterner Thanks this. -

And what I meant by myself being lured by the false advertisement. (In relation to the title of the forum, tired if the BS.) I meant I hired on with hopes that the advertising of a relaxing, we care and treat you like family mentality was true... I hoped, but did not expect it. Therefore I was only dissappointed to learn they are just like all the rest. Didn't make me angry or feel I should quit. No I'm not dissing or bashing Walmart, just stating observations.
