Simple fact is, if we don't stand up for ourselves, who will? P.A.T.T? C.R.A.S.H.?

Mass transit workers go on strike. Auto workers go on strike. Even trash collectors go on strike. But, truck drivers??? If you aren't willing to stand up for yourself, don't complain about what rolls downhill on top of you.

I believe in getting organized for better working conditions. But a strike without direction is not going to work.

My dispatcher said I couldn't go on strike this week. I've got a couple of hot loads to deliver. Maybe next time.
