There are many many upset drivers at Powell. The other day I heard drivers talking about what it would take to leave ATU 757. This was not new drivers, it was drivers fed up with the leadership in the Union. Many were stating they believe that a Union that represents so many properties outside of Trimet, can't possibly serve our interest as well as a Union that focused on our need exclusively. Many believe the last sign up fiasco proved the leadership is either incompetent or corrupt, no one cases either way. For myself it's hard to make a call, without more information but it does make me sad. rainmagixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14942656897803893060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595057345294486478.post-63922819998204145682015-10-16T09:51:12.206-07:002015-10-16T09:51:12.206-07:00Working conditions for unionized labor has been de...Working conditions for unionized labor has been deteriorating for years actually decades now. <br /><br />The only answer to that apparently is to get out.
