Future of Unions?

Orion makes it harder for a new driver to run a route not easier.

And the first spaceship we built didn't make it to the moon.

And the first spaceship we built didn't make it to the moon.

But they didn't say it did.

And the first spaceship we built didn't make it to the moon.

But, we were the first to build a space craft that took men to the moon, and brought them back alive.
I had the great experience to witness the launch.

Just getting Orion now...I pray everyone follows it to trace...when they say 85 percent is good i am not paid to think for them so I will follow 100%...will grieve 9.5 and get a lower stop count then currently have...in a perfect world imagine if every driver in every center did this how many extra union drivers we would have

I remember driving a UPS Ford Econoline to Fargo one night in 71 or 72 and looking up at the moon and thinking "Damn-there are guys up there walking around and I'm driving in a van that don't even have a radio in it".

But they only had one golf club!

I was only 8 at the time but I'm sure that I watched it as well.

Republicans have been attacking unions for years with right to work. Right to work needs to be repealed. Either that or we need to come up with legislation called right to not represent. Workers who work in a union shop should not be getting services that other dues paying members receive. Either they should not get the same as a dues paying member or they shouldn't be able to work for a union company and receive Union benefits.

To many poor to middle income people think they are republican or sympathize with their ideals. The divide between rich and poor is far to great for the people of this country to be voting and siding with these republican ideals.

I just don't believe that lazy people should be benefited off my hardwork. Does that make me a Republican?

Do you vote for republicans?

I am a Democrat but also don't think lazy people should benefit from my hard work.

Of course they should. They run the company.

 

[you aint even know it]

Do you vote for republicans?

Never voted in my life due to inegilibility. But I will definitely be voting in 2016.

But don't you think the Democrats' policies enable the lazies. There is a fine line between helping and enabling someone.

Union membership will continue to decline due to an increasing negative attitude toward them by the general public.

The general public who had negative views about unions is now starting to feel the pinch from their employers. Unions won't grow if it's members don't communicate with the public about membership advantages.

There is a reason the number of states approving RTW is increasing, not decreasing.

RTW is increasing because of Republicans in those states. The Koch Brothers and their goons won't be satisfied until they abolish all worker's rights.
