The unions exist to do things like limit how much they drive in a day -- before truck driving unions and such, drivers were basically expected to drive whatever it took to get their load where it was going. This was, obviously, horribly unsafe.
But unions aren't a magic fix for everything.
Also, how quickly we of the first world are to assume that you can just up and change jobs. It's easy when you sit at a desk. It's not easy when all you've ever done is drive a truck, or work at a factory, or done construction.
Your intolerance disgusts me, honestly.
- cchurch 15y agoYou act like anyone who performs unskilled labor is a victim. I feel for people who are in a difficult situation, but I expect them to work their way out of it. And the great thing about this country is: they can if they use their wits and are willing to work harder than most people can imagine.
- mrcharles 15y agoYou seriously underestimate exactly how hard being a truck driver is. Random internet challenge: Be a truck driver for a month. Then come back to this thread.
