    Meanwhile, as you strike, you're screwing all the inbound drivers like me. It took me nearly 8hrs to get unloaded in Swedesboro last week.

    O/O are smart not to unload. What insurance is gonna pay for their injuries? Who's gonna make their truck payment if they get hurt? I mean yes they probably need to exercise but they got a buisness they won't run if their injured. An injury could bankrupt some O/O.

    that is interesting

    LOT of US Foods ads all of a sudden this week, their ads, staffing places ads, etc. They haven't been advertising lately but this last week they certainly have. for both locations (south and north).

    Apparently, the scab making $700 a day is saving US Foods as a company by fulfilling their customers orders. Which in turn, hurts the union drivers standing point and their $300 dollars a day. So I guess he's a scab because he is helping the company and not the driver. And those on the picket line who wish to do harm to the driver.... ya know what this is a very sketchy and kinda uncomfortable topic.

    WHAT DO WE WANT?
    SEVEN DAYS OFF A WEEK!
    WHEN DO WE WANT TO BE PAID?
    EVERYDAY!


    This is my view towards unions. Granted I was part of a very ####ty one that did nothing for the driver. But still left a bad taste. Thanks local 741 Lancaster, PA. You guys rock! I mean suck!

    Although I'm not a fan of unions myself, I won't pick a side in a fight I don't know about. However, once you appear to endorse violence, you've lost me, I don't care how valid your points may be.

    I do not endorse nor participate in violence over money, employment , #### that's a want not a need. Air water food = needs. So I agree with you.
     
    JReding Thanks this.

    No, please, really. If you feel confident in your beliefs, you should have no problem speaking your mind...
