    His posts appear to be in present tense. Couldn't possibly be grammatical error on a trucking forum.

    Move on, ? Do you have enough drivers to organize? Try contacting some union local business agents and see in you can get the union involved. If enough drivers will go union you are on your way to better pay and working conditions. If They say they will shut down , good . You win either way.

    The best way I can sum that up is "A better Standard Of Living Through Collective Barganing". What I pay for union dues does not really matter. What does matter is without collective bargening power the individual employee has no say . You can see this throughout the industry. In pay, or beneifts .A 3 card monty/shell game pay scale industy? Well, you run 3000 miles this week and we,ll pay ya for 2700. This sorta practice goes back to the 20,s and 30,s. Here we are its 2013 and there still playing that game. I read enough of what goes on . I have done better in the last 3 years than the years before. I have 6 more years and I am done.

    Yeah, that's the answer to life's problems, ORGANIZE! Don't like your boss? ORGANIZE! Drive an old truck? ORGANIZE! Problems with the wife? ORGANIZE! Don't like the inlaws? ORGANIZE!

    Don't hold back, tell us how it really is to ORGANIZE!

    I've been down that road, more than once. It's not all peaches and cream, as many would have you believe. It's not a given that you will get better pay and benefits. That's all subject to negotiation, providing it gets that far.

    Im still trying to get over "What I pay for union dues doesn't matter."
    Why would that not matter?
    Would you ask a prostitute what she pays her pimp,and expect her to say"What I pay my pimp doesn't matter."
    Im not giving it away,so yes it DOES matter.

    What have you done for me lately?

    The unions didn't put Detroit in the hole. Years of shady politicians did.
