Without the benefit of competition the unionized driver is not motivated to improve his driving or the way he does his job or his efficiency. In fact, his union will see to it that his profession stagnates...along with him.

As for the “50 year old driver”...or teacher...or anyone else who refuses to keep up with innovation and efficiency that comes from competition ...too darn bad.

To all: Beware of hyper emotional appeals to nativism such as those posted by dragnet2.

Just out of curiosity, what do you do for a living? Why do people always think that all truck drivers are union? I don’t know any union drivers. My husband is an o/o. He has a excellent track record as a professional driver, he also trains other drivers. So he is constantly improving himself in his profession. How more innovative can he be? Being he is his own boss. How do you compete with someone who will work for pennies on the dollar? Because in Mexico things are alot cheaper to buy. But we shop in the USA. I suppose you think Mattel did the right thing by outsourcing to China, right? Even though now that they found high concentrations of LEAD in childrens toys it will hurt them in the long run. But by God their toys are affordable. Do you see my point? When is it time to say “enough is enough”?
