@Blackadder04181 @Underwoodforyou @DeconstrucTed80 Regardless the POTUS can stop workers from striking. Listen I’m on the side of labor and if the drivers can earn $50 an hour then I hope they get it. It benefits all the middle class (IMHO) It isn’t as much as people think anymore
@Blackadder04181 @Underwoodforyou @DeconstrucTed80 The POTUS can stop a strike if they declare it could create an economic emergency. Ask PATCO. And Biden administration worked behind the scenes and the railroad workers got what they asked for. Google it.
@hazetradez@FreightAlley I’ve lived this for the past decade. Yellow hadn’t been paying into Central States for years. Central States was bailed out and is a separate entity from Yellow and they’ve warned Yellow they’d get kicked out
@FreightAlley@Roosterishere That didn’t bail out Yellow. Yellow hadn’t been paying into CS for years and it’s been a source of controversy when the plan was rescued
@WarrensBaseball@GamesterX1 A brokerage firm invests the funds which Teamsters hire, yellow has not been paying into the fund for years and has been warned.
@supertrucker@POTUFC@FreightAlley I get that but I know of two union shops in CSP, excellent pay and benefits and looking for drivers. But having been through this it’s easier to say than do. It’s a tough deal and walk a mile in their shoes.
@supertrucker In past economies I get that but there are so many union shops that are begging for qualified CDL drivers. My son just settled his contract at $40/hr plus benefits and they’re still short drivers Plus the Yellow guys knew the company wasn’t paying into that pension for years.
@TomFitton@SecretaryPete Let me fix that for you. Teamsters members are proposing to strike for fair wages. As for POTUS and transportation secretary, they are pro worker and pro union. They aren’t going to stop fair collective bargaining
@alphanews Speaking as a democrat. This is sort of similar to Ron DeSantis taking on Disney for being “too woke.” It was overreach in that case and overreach in this instance. Plus Keith focus on the car jackings.
@jaf7 While all the bitching was going on about Manchineel, the dems put up the most beatable candidate against a vulnerable republican senator in Wisconsin. I agree with you 100 percent.
