[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4132925, member: 58386"] Contractor employed drivers can go union on a local by local basis because they are under Taft Hartley/ National Labor Relations Act. However if they were the contractor would find his trucks pulled outside and a termination notice slapped on the windshields so fast it will make your head spin. In addition contractors have to sign a nondisclosure agreement barring them from discussing contract terms with other contractors. And of course contractors can't join a labor union themselves because technically they are the employer not the employee. What will be the downfall of contractors and you're seeing it happen already is that every labor market has a limited supply of cheap, zero benefit fast food wage labor and if you were to go to the nationwide job boards you'll see scores of desperate contractors begging for that type of labor . They're addicted to the stuff and the funny part is no matter what part of the country you're talking about or how high the living cost from the standpoint of pay offered there's only about a 100 bucks a week difference no matter where you live.
