If the teamsters don't want to work, there are plenty of people who would love to take thier place. There will be a line a mile long if they start advertising for drivers.

ibspears,

I think you are missing the point here. It not that these guys do not want to work, they just want what is fair to them as experienced employees of this company.

Also, if there are miles of drivers out of work in your area, folks should move to another area.

Based on the most recent update, the two sides are going back to the table after this weekend. Thanks for the comment on the video -- we are thinking a lot alike.

Local 200 leaders said to vote on this and when the company let go some union members and kept 40 some odd scabs the hall just said you voted for it! Since those jags got in the whole union(200) went down the shitter! They won't due union work but they know how to party on the dime of the workers that they have left! I wonder if that BA is still going to the tanning booths, he has to dark just like his family. HA HA Hwas a piece of shit at yellow and still is. He lies to much, yes he fits in.

[buster1173]

Did your local agreed to keep the scaps and lay off some teamsters?

I dont know too many monkeys that could do what we do. Trash truck drivers, especially commercial drivers are the best in the world in my opinion.

Lol Good stuff, Think your Union is going to help you out? HA ! worked well for the autoworkers. Inept corporate management and greedy corrupt unions that haven't changed in 50 years. Meanwhile the folks who actually work for a living are losing their jobs to cheaper labor markets.
