[QUOTE="brown_trousers, post: 1021348, member: 29972"] BTW PobreCarlos, I like your replies as you seem to bring a lot of info on previous labor strikes. A response showing research and logical thought always makes for a better discussion. Also makes for fun research... well... fun if you're law student like myself. But you do come off rather biased as you never reference any of the successful labor strikes. And I'm sure there are quite a few of them out there. --But now back to the topic.. In a nation where the people are getting softer and softer every generation. It seems the term "unfair labor practice" could be successfully used in even questionable cases. for example... -In my early years, bully's at school were just considered part of the normal school experience. Nowadays, goverment has declared even internet-bullying to be an extreme form of harassment, punishable by law. -20 years ago it would have been a joke to try and get disability from "stress" in the workplace. Now the courts are upholding that as a condition worthy of disability. Times are definitely changing! And even a strike over excessive overtime or stress in the workplace could easily fit in with the newer generation's interpretation of the word "unfair". And these are definitely issues that most FT drivers would like to see changed. A strike for guaranteed 8 hr days and less stressful working conditions lines up very well with the values of today.
