National Grievance Meeting?

[01focus]

I've heard some rummbling noise from our steward that the meeting in Jan is the "BIG ONE" that should resolve most of our greivances. Is this true?

Vending machine prices.

Vending machines? This is a freight thread. The freight drivers are better than we are, they wouldn't get caught dead at a vending machine!

Yeah, that's true. Just like Obama Bin Ladin is gonna solve all the world's problems.

The meeting is Jan 5 and it is the "Big One". This is the first greivance meeting at the national level. Yes many of us are hoping that this will start getting things in place finally, especially issues regarding contractors pulling our freight. It is an absolute crime to have teamsters sitting at home collecting unemployment while Schneider, Werner, CRST, and US Express and all the rest of these A$$HOLES are taking our work away. I hope something FINALLY gets done about this and many other issues.
