Here is my simple solution:
All 3 million drivers out there.... send me ONE day's pay! (approx $100 each.) With this I will pay the salaries of the SMALL group of drivers who actually NEED to strike...... Tanker Yankers!!!
No deisel, gasoline or jet fuel moves for a day or two!!! This country will come to a screeching halt!!
Of course, this will affect ALL of us drivers, but so would a strike that we can never agree on! We will ALL lose a few days pay, and it will be hard to pay some of our bills, but our problems will be EVERYONE's problems then!!!
The important thing is, rather than a few pennies increase in the cost of milk that some congressman doesn't HAVE to buy today..... The whole country will feel an IMMEDIATE impact, especially the ones whose attention we need to get.
They CAN'T replace all the tanker yankers with scabs, cuz not everyone HAS the endorsement.... and more importantly.... the TRAINING! Accidents would go through the roof if they tried!
Yep, if we could just "PAY" all the Yankers to hit the beach for a day or two, I think our voices would be HEARD!! And the "target" would be clear to all...... FUEL prices!!!
Make checks payable to GolfHobo, and let me know what day would be best for you! My choice would be the Thursday before Memorial Day Weekend!
