[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 816289, member: 16651"] Bug; Maybe you think the companies would have "put all the money in their pockets"...but the fact that they would have stayed in business would have meant that at least SOME of the money went into Teamster members' pockets. As it stands, they get NO "money in their pockets" from them at all; NO contributions to their pensions, NO health benefits, etc. NOTHING WHATSOEVER! That a "good" thing in your view? Think all those past CFWY employees are happy with the "union" wage, benefits, and pensions they "maintained" (sarcasm) following that Labor Day debacle? Did the disappearance of their employer from the scene help OTHER Teamsters? By that I mean, did it increase Teamster density in the industry as a whole? Did it help the status of their pension plans? Did it help keep CSPF "in the black" a bit longer, for example? Meanwhile, in light of the Teamsters history of "protecting" its members jobs, do you see a large percentage of the workers at the "non-union LTL carriers" queuing-up to become part of that heritage of job loss? Think they're anxious to become part of the hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of individuals who sacrificed their means of making a livelihood to their union? Pays your money and takes your choice, I guess. If Teamsters like you want to piss in the very canteens they drink from, guess there's stopping 'em! [/QUOTE]
