Who is our political voice?

They aren’t doing any of the heavy lifting. They will lend their name to someone else’s litigation to look active.

Hagens Berman has been suing Swift for 14 years over the fact that they are paying drivers by a system that deliberately cheats drivers out of mileage. Swift essentially has endless money so they drag their feet and make it as costly as possible for the law firms seeking justice.

Are they STILL wrestling over THIS? 14 #### years?

OMFG. Thats amazing. I guess swift would be facing a existential threat from something like that.

 

They won’t ever win because that isn’t a problem exclusively at Swift, but also at many other trucking companies. They’re better off fighting for a federal law that ensures mile-based-paid drivers are paid fairly for the miles that they drive.

 

On January 21, 2020, the Honorable Timothy J. Thomason decertified the class and granted Swift’s Motion for Summary Judgment. Judge Thomason also vacated the trial.

 

That's true. The one I really like is when they sued the state of Tennessee, my home state. They won that case and it stopped the corruption at the weigh stations and politicians soliciting bribes from trucking companies; contribute bribes and your trucks won't be inspected at weigh stations, but if they are inspected, they'll pass with no violations.

 

Society has reached a comfort level where nobody dare risk any discomfort for the betterment of all of us. We have no real voice , I have seen some try to organize only to be shouted down by others either to afraid or not willing to go the distance. The ppl in office only care about political contributions and power , they say in speeches they are for the working class but the gap between the rich and the poor grows year by year . The Punjabi organizations are the only ones I have seen organize with true American spirit , much respect to those guys.

 

They ate the voice and rubbed a business? That ain't right!

 

Stupid swype text. I'll fix it. Thanks for the heads up.

 

The nation would break.

We ship 40% of our corn, about 30% of our rice and around a hell of alot of that Wheat overseas to other Nations.

If that got stopped? Well we might as well put the armories to 15 minutes notice with manned armor etc because the hungries will invade us for this land we wont work for a year.
