[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 2078388, member: 42270"] You are horrendously wrong here. Jimmy Carter beginning deregulation and Ronald Reagan continuing the policy absolutely annihilated the unionized trucking industry and is primarily responsible for the state of Central States today. Thousands of unionized trucking firms have been reduced to two as a result of the owner-operator model stemming from these policies. This has [I][B]everything [/B][/I]to do with today's issues. Granted, there has been gross mismanagement of CS' assets in the past (before Hoffa) and the IBT allowing UPS to exit the plan in 2008 (under Hoffa) was the last nail in the coffin; the latter being a very valid topic for debate.
