Why Not Strike?

I'm all for banning shipments from China. However it should start with the public and go after those big corporations that purchase goods from China.
Lets start with Walmart. Nobody shops at Walmart any more.

 

In principal I agree. A 3 day strike would bring the whole of North America to it's knees. Once the stores run out of fresh bread and fuel starts to get low ..... Anarchy!

But do you know what would happen in the long run? Public sympathy would be non existant and the border to the south of us would be opened up double quick.

 

There is no public sympatyh for truckers today so who cares.

Having said that most of the public today does not understand the hardship that truckers go through to deliver their loads.

If we go on strike and explain all that goes on I'm sure they would be more sympathetic. They would be on our side for a few days and if the trucks don't start moving they their sympathy to truckers is out of the door.

 

A strike to keep the Mexican Carriers out Yes let's cut available American Carriers and that will make them see


And Americans had their chance to "boycott" (insert third world country) products. They chose to buy the cheapest they could so they could buy more stuff. Corporations that attempted to stay US based either moved their operations or closed.

The American consumer voted with his wallet Now they can reap the rewards of that decision

 

Much of that falls on the shoulders of our politicians who set up the worst trade policies imaginable...We made light bulbs here since Edison invented them, now the Chinese do it all as the last GE plant closed recently(IIRC)...

 

Walmart buys stuff that sells, they don't use it themselves. If folks didn't buy the Chinese-made goods, Walmart would not buy it. You're barking up the wrong tree.

 

If that were true ... there would be no discussions about job loss, and truckers strikes.

 

why pick on walmart, go to ANY store the same products are there usually at a higher price so you support the same overseas producer you just pay even more to do it.
