    I wouldn't want to be a scab truck driver. That could be dangerous.

    That's the part I don't get. MADI is some kind of strikebusting outfit, but I never heard about a drivers' strike up there.

    Sounds like SYSCO is looking to hire SCABS to replace the strikeing drivers. :wink:
    SYSCO ran an ad around here about a month ago looking for SCABS to replace drivers that were about to strike. Strike didn't happen.

    Freelancing, so that's what they call it now. Sounds so much nicer than scab... I'm with Vass on this. I was in the USWA for 21 years,and I've witnessed first hand how ugly it can get when somebody decides to cross a picket line. :wink:

    Don't be a scab. Why cross a picket line? They're out there for a reason.

    I answered a similar ad a couple years ago. I think you can count on it being scab work replacing striking union drivers. The one I answered was garbage truck drivers. They like to keep it secret because of ongoing negotiations.

    In case you're curious I chose not to do it.

    My dad actually did that Snowman in Youngstown one year. He was a strike buster for the former BFI. He went on 3 of'em and the 3rd was Youngstown, turned out to be the most dangerous of the 3. They were under armed escort anywhere they went. Union heard they were in town and signed the deal without the scabs lifting a finger. He also went to Boston and Buffalo, usually flew in in the middle of the night. After Youngstown, he asked to be taken off the strike busting team. Great money when your called up but some place you may not come out of alive.

    How are you crossing a picket line if your not union in the first place?

    Yeah I can see Youngstown being a bad place to cross the line. Big union town, lots of steel, autos, and manufacturing. Back in the day it was notorious for mob activity and corruption.

    Anyone volunteering to work is crossing the line. Union or replacement worker.

    I'm not looking for work. I just wondered if anyone knew who was on strike or going on strike or whatever. I never heard anything about it, so it sounds like the scenario that Snowman7 suggests may be the case. The ad says "ongoing" and it was posted on April 18th. Then I got it in an e-mail from an aggregator a couple of weeks later.

    Since it says that lodging and such are provided, I also wondered if they were just trolling Detroit (where unemployment is rampant) for people to take somewhere else to work.

    Yeah the ad I saw was in the local paper but the pending strike was in Seattle and the employment firm was in Minnesota.
