If the independent truckers go on strike, that will not be the cause of
the rise in gasoline and diesel fuel prices. Those prices are already
being "staged" for the coming higher fuel prices this summer!
You have to understand, in this corporate-communist nation today, working
people are being stripped of Democracy and a living wage by the
conspiracy of employment practices being used today! Independent contract
drivers are being used to run established trucking companies out of
business just the same way Yellow Cab was destroyed. Seems good, to put
so many smaller driver cabs to work as independent businesses, but that
undercuts government funds for social security, well-fare, disability and
retirement because they are no longer covered by government benefits!
Unions may be a commercial representation business, I agree with that,
having been that I was once a union member who was "railroaded" by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, including the few "real" unions that
exist today and the small trucker trade groups for contract and
independent truckers. However, the union and the trade groups are the
ONLY means for working people and for small businesses to have a
self-defense means to prevent exploitation, abuse, and de-citizenship
enslavement as economic prostitutes to the larger corporations who have
DIRECT connection to legislators, governors and to the supreme courts at
the state and federal level. The public and small businesses do not have
that political and legal access!
Our government will NOT represent the public's interests in any way. The
only way for workers to maintain a non-fascist working and business
environment that RESPECTS workers and small business owners NOT as human
resources and union-busting/competition-busting pawns, but as US CITIZENS
and FAIR ENTERPRISE investors, is for there to be unions and small
business trade groups who will stop the profit mechanisms of corporate
communism and combat the rising global economy which is anti-world trade!
We must respect and sympathise for those who dare to go on strike,
because it requires moral fortitude and emotional strength to conduct a
non-violent strike in the face of the overwhelming wealth and political
influence of the international/multinational corporate cartel
employers/master contractors!
