[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Junctionfan Trying to think American and not Canadian, There is one other way of making the railroads do what you want them to do and that is gather up all of the targeted railroads customers and ask them to boycot against the railroad until they get a clue on what is exceptable and what is not. I don't really like this idea though because it causes a major problem as strikes do. I prefer to avoid mass individuals rebelling against each other by keeping the peace and not give them a reason to get sore at each other in the first place. [/quote] This type of action by shippers has been tried before and seldom accomplishes anything except higher rates. There are simply too many customers who rely upon rail such as utilities, the steel industry, agriculture and the chemical industry and can't afford the damage a boycott would cause them through plant shutdowns and/or increased alternative costs for trucking or even air freight.
