4th, you strike, i'll haul freight.
this statement alone is why a strike today doesnt have a chance, People walk past a picket line and act like the guy striking is the bad guy, when hes trying to get better pay, benefits, a pension, Insurance, yet the non union guy who has this mentality...YOU STRIKE ILL DELIVER FREIGHT...drives a stake right thru this guys life, his ability to negotiate, to get the MAN to come to the table and negotiate,,,,not today theres far too many guys who have it good, because someone somewhere stood in the cold, in the rain and made it possible to negotiate with the MAN...and the MAN has respect for that ability....because when many thousands of strikers stand together they get respect, they get a raise, they get better conditions....for everyone Union or Not...even in Right to work states the car plants offer good wages packages because of a LIVING WAGE standard fought for by UNIONS...
But when 900 out of 1000 guys walk past the picket line and say I, ME and forget that they are actually WE....They let those 100 guys get fired and never think they just lost the ability to stand and demand better things for all of them, Ya its a Union Handbook, Ya its right outta the Teamsters and many other Unions...but with whats happening today, National Right to work, wages, benefits, Oil Prices all being manipulated by who....THE MAN....workers dont stand up, there now SHEEPLE and the SHEEPLE never stand together because they think about only themselves not what the future could be, should be....strength in numbers has been beaten into submission by politicians who say Unions caused this countrys ills and cost jobs and factorys to leave the country....
BULL$HIT....The sheeple get there education from the TV and the information comes form the MAN...The Sheeple believe in it hook line and sinker...while the 1% get richer and richer and richer...and the wages are lowered and the benefits taken away, and Medicare and Medicaid are called Entitlements and who cares anymore because the Sheeple believe whatever is fed to them outta that box......
I stood in picket lines and watched truckloads of men be brought into a plant and familys lose everything when half the men gave up and left the other half to be fired...because they believed what the MAN says, when after the strike most of them lost there jobs and replacements were paid as much as 12 dollars per hour less....lost benefits, pensions and men who had worked there 3o years lose the PENSION they earned, it wasnt an entitlement like they call it now,,,,30 years standing next to a Blast Furnace.....to lose your benefits and Insurance see your wages cut in half....Chinese SLAVES are paid 94 cents a week, less then 340 dollars a year...SLAVES...
Ya my Father was a Union man and Id stand in a picket line if it meant a better future, and life for my family ANYDAY...and your family....ORGANIZED LABOR made AMERICA, now people paint LABOR as a bad guy, we want too much, we demand too much.....WE GET PAID TOO MUCH.....because we had the balls to stand as ONE VOICE...ONE GROUP...ONE VOTING BLOCK....
Todays theyve divided the American people and told people you cant strike, well move to China, well close the plant, well take your benefits.....THEN WHOSE GONNA BUY YOUR CHEAP CHINESE CRAP...The Sheeple thats who...The Sheeple !!!!
Ya its a rant but I have strong family ties to LABOR and endured several long strikes while I do alright in trucking and make a living, if Fuel prices were 1 dollar a gal, and Insurance and Licenses and on and on less because of the ridiculous way Government and States shove there hands so far down my pants and again we dont say a thing, WE THE SHEEPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA....we allow this and never say a thing because we think we cant make a difference...
I believe thats what Aqquitted wants is to make a difference, and together we do make a difference. Stop accepting the BS and ask why, Get involved.....VOTE and make a difference.
RANT OVER
