    TANSTAFL. If the load don’t pay, don’t haul it. If a job doesn’t pay enough, find another job. Or starve. Their choice.

    Sounds like they are more devoted to the company in question than the company is to them.

      If the job doesn’t pay enough, strike! If the boss wants me to starve then he can do the fucking job himself.

      I bet you want UPS drivers to become owner-operators. Gotta love sweatshops on wheels!

        Sounds like you’re more loyal to your “boss” then “the boss” is to you.

        I once gave my loyalty to a company. I was laid off 7 months later. Now it’s “You want my work? You’ll pay my rates or you can take your business elsewhere.”

          lol wtf are you talking about? They’re striking! That’s not loyalty to the company, they’re taking what the company owes them.

          Why go through the trouble of finding a new job when you can twist your boss’s arm and force them to make your job better?

            I think this one’s a lost cause. Don’t worry. One day, pay will increase magically and they’ll have no idea what happened.
