Um, has anyone besides me read the article?
We've got roughly 10 months before the end of the world.
Calm down.
This is total click bait

July 2023 is a long way off, O’Brian will have a new contract on the table for ratification long before the old one expires.
EDIT - by far this isn’t the biggest strike in US history, if it happens it will be something on the level of number 5. The biggest was in 1959 by the steel workers, well over 500,000 union members stuck Nation wide.Last edited: Sep 9, 2022

People see Teamsters and think it’s just the trucks, they might not realize it’s everyone. Personally I’ve only known one delivery driver, he lived a couple houses down from me when I lived in Missoula. During peak season he pulled a cargo trailer behind his delivery van. He admitted that the long days tended to suck, but his pay was increased for pulling the trailer and he also got a ton of hours for a few weeks. Then one year that stopped and they were hiring “extra” people and they were delivering packages with whatever vehicle they showed up in. I know I’d be frustrated had I been in his shoes.
Speaking of strikes, what about the possible upcoming railroad strike? That’s only a few days away.Another Canadian driver, JoeyJunk and LtlAnonymous Thank this. -

Local steel plant was on strike for 6 months. Never stopped completely but did slow down. Scab workers were brought in to try and operate equipment from WWll, ended up breaking more stuff than they produced.
I was called and ask if I would continue hauling although it meant crossing the picket line. I declined.
$$$ makes many do things no matter who they step on to get it.
Out of town trucks were brought in driven by many who could hardly speak English, and transported the steel out to 2 disclosed locations for the normal trucks to take it on to it’s delivery point. That way the normal trucks could say they didn’t cross the line.
Just another way to piss on the pants leg of the union guy without getting their hands dirty….? It’s all about the $$$.
Glad I had my lowboy to go after a different kind of freight…..Another Canadian driver, lynchy, JMon and 4 others Thank this. -

We have a planned MN state wide nurse's strike on the 12th pending a deal.
We will deliver OX to the local community hospitals that cannot strike legally.
We will not cross a picket line otherwise.
The company has contractors lined up to supply hospitals across the state but also happens to be the same day as a 5 day plant turnaround.
They've already told us we may be going to KC, Des Moines, Chicago or IN to pick up liquid if necessary.
Can't wait for this sh** show.Another Canadian driver, LtlAnonymous, Banker and 1 other person Thank this.
