[QUOTE="HavenoEDD, post: 5353823, member: 98477"] We have a couple of guys retiring soon who were involved in ‘97. I came just after. They say the same thing when they are asked about next year. They don’t see the united front and question the newer generation of driver. It’s a different world but I tend to agree. Nothing happens after work, everyone goes their way and rinse and repeat. We’ve talked about a friendly wager as to who in our center will or try to cross the picket line…which is sad but in my experience the newer driver doesn’t understand the union, what it offers and what it protects. I blame the locals for that but I hope that if we strike its quick. The old timers have to pay for their second homes and the younger folks will have loved ones questioning and bills to pay. We’ve told them to start saving but at $20 an hour they all say it’s tough especially with the cost of things currently. Going to be an interesting 12 months…. [/QUOTE]
