[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5632773, member: 58386"] Saw the other day a public comment made by an O-O who has spent decades in trucking on both sides of the border. His was the most balanced point I've heard yet regarding the contract UPS/IBT negotiations. It's his belief that if the next IBT contract is anything less than a once in a generation contract it could mark the beginning of the end of union truckers in the U.S. The question therefore is:....What percentage of the IBT's so called "rank and file" is comprised of Birchers, Reaganites, MAGA's evangelicals etc? People who always have their hands out to collect every extra cent of wages they can get due to being under constant pressure from their bible thumpers for more cash . But. given the passive and submissive nature of the biblical texts that controls them questions arise regarding the genuine strength of conviction they actually have when it comes to the core principles regarding the rights of a group of laborers to come together and pursue a better deal for their time and labor.
