Well, Wabash, the "UTU" isn't the folks doing away with jobs. It's all MANAGEMENT, period! The good old B of L.E. really isn't faring much better either, as far as protecting jobs. Modern technology, and corporate greed are the main factors here. Not too long ago, the Teamsters and the B of L.E., were considering merger. I don't pretend to know all the ramifications of such a merger, but I do, see some possible benefit from that. As "intermodal" transportation becomes commonplace, rather than a "curiousity", the labor force needs to re-think it's place in the market. If we don't all get together soon, I suppose we'd be better off flipping burgers at Mc Donalds for minimum wage. At least then, we would be able to feed ourselves. (on the sly, of course).
