Anyone know what company is on strike in Long Island?

In NYC the customers will be just as nasty to you as the striking drivers if the customers have a union workforce.

 

First I've heard about it.
My first trucking job was with Midwestern Distribution out of Ft. Scott,KS and they had lots of freight to UAW plants. Those guys would slash tires, rip off air lines, knock holes in the trailers, just because we weren't union. The company put Teamsters decals on the trailers that were used for those loads and after that, no more vandalized trailers.

Here is an article about it...
Drivers, Mechanics Strike at Long Island Distributor Clare Rose | Brewbound.com

 

A 30 percent wage cut? That is an attention getter.

 

Don't know who is out.
We are union and do not cross any picket line regardless of affiliation, as per contract.
If you do not respect the line then take your chances.
Just saw post on company.

 

Stuff like that is why I would never be a part of any union. The mindset that violence and vandalism is justified and that they deserve to be treated like special princesses just because they are "union members" is sickening to me. Grown men acting like spoiled, entitled children. This is America, if your employer doesn't pay you enough find a different one.

 

So imagine a group of ticked off Drivers and Mechanics manning a picket line. And no doubt, there will be some beer drinking going on.

And here comes a scab driver in a tractor trailer from Texas.......

Nope, I think I would pass on that golden opportunity.
