Mexican trucks having access to the USA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry guys. This is too funny.
A lot of you bitch about the Unions.
The fact of the matter is, the only ones I've seen trying to make a statement about this matter, are the Teamsters Rep's down at the border.
Has anyone from ***boat gone down and thrown up a sign against the Mexican drivers coming over the border? Not that I can tell. I may be wrong.
Am I a union guy? Yes. Am I a strong supporter of the unions? To a point.
Am I concerned about matters like this? Absolutely.
People wonder why their wages have gone down over the last few years. Try to mix a third world country with our standard of living. Unless you have your own business and are dealing with a speciality as far as a commodity goes, I feel that some of you might have forgotten what our unions have done to contribute to "our" financial well being over the years.
Have the unions gotten greedy, have they been ran by power hungry people, have mistakes been made? Of course! But the backbone of the unions are not the people who run them, but the people who are their lifeblood. They are the ones that suffer with the trucks coming over from Mexico, the low wages, etc. And in the long run? You will be too. The short term? yuk yuk. In the long term?
Read my post again in a year from now.
I'm sure you'll see reductions in your shipping cost's. Now that's funny.
I'm going to get nailed for this , no pun intended.
