Don't Forget, The Big Strike Is Tomorrow!!!

Burky, for real!
Union and non Union drivers ,0/0's, of all kinds of Trucks are going to SET STILL for 24 hours.
Is this having to do w/ CA's ruling on the idling or is it for the RUDE and Un Professional behavoir towards a GOOD TRUCKER by a BAD Truck/Comp?

 

I have been meaning to ask you if its ok?
You are a farmer, crops or livestock or both?

Horses have me for an employee.

 

Surely you jest. I wonder what the Vegas line is on tomorrow being the end of the world for several days when the trucks all stop. I'd better stock up. I'd also better get in the driving I need to do today, as tomorrow the roads will be blocked by all the parked trucks.

Get real. It's maybe one in a million chance we'll actually see drivers shutting down en masse. They'll then all shut down for five minutes, and then it'll be because everyone stopped to take a bathroom break. That's about as long as this strike will last.

Truck drivers as a whole don't have the backbone to go on strike. All one has to do do is smile at a truck driver and throw him a compliment as a bone, and he'll roll over for you and be your best buddy no matter how strong his beliefs. Shake his hand with your right and pick his pocket with your left, and all is good in the world for Mr. Truck Driver.

 

It's too bad they WON'T do it. It'd be VERY effective.

 

We're all just cogs in the wheel, folks. I'm not a trucker, but if just about any of us "cogs" went on strike en masse, we'd be in trouble. As an example, if I and my counterparts walked out, no one would get paid... but of course, if all those men and women who pulled, packed, and shipped merchandise walked out, there'd be no money coming in from which to pay employees... and so it goes.

The truth of the matter is, we're all replaceable. And there's always someone else willing to do our jobs under our current working conditions. When the day comes that I no longer enjoy what I do... or I feel that the company is treating me unfairly... I will move on. That is really the only choice I have.

 

I'm going to pull a load tomorrow even if I have to do it for free. None of these nonunion truckers ever cared about crossing a Teamster's picket line.

Why should I care about their strike?

 

Yeah im not striking for 2 days until my week off
truckers cant organize a file cabinet let alone an organized movement .
