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.”

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.

The Teamsters seem to go on strike as.frequently as the US has a vehicle accident involving a fatality. It’s not news at this point, it’s business as usual.

As a truck driver myself, my only thought is, “Good, perhaps freight rates will go up again.” Otherwise, don’t care. What are they striking about this time? Not enough coffee in the break room? Vending machine out of Mt.Dew?

Seriously though, I’ve never (knowingly) met a Teamster who wasn’t a complete and total asshole. I am sure such a creature exists, just haven’t met them yet.

The Teamsters Union is the only Union of which I have an entirely negative view of. They make the UAW look like a bunch of really intelligent, well organized, team players.

Probably, though you may have to dig to find them. Lemmy is rapidly becoming like Reddit in that if something exists, there is probably a community for it. If your local search doesn’t bring anything up, I would check on lemmyverse.net. It seems to have indexed most if not all of the current communities. A quick search just now for “liberta” pulled up roughly 10 communities.
