2. That's true. And the fact that you and I make the same amount of money is yet another failure of the union. I'm a better driver with a better record, and therefore I should be making more money – but for the union's anti-competitive rules. As I wrote before: "And seniority (punching the clock) is all that matters to the union, not quality. Or skill. Or work ethic." After all, does Mark Sanchez make as much as Tom Brady?

. And seniority (punching the clock) is all that matters to the union, not quality. Or skill. Or work ethic. (And making sure that the most senior drivers can never get fired, no matter how lazy they are or how much they screw up.) So, to hell with the kids. It's all about the drivers. And their money.

Any truth to the wild rumor that Walcott and Union were working on a deal and almost closed it and talks were planned and would resume next week? Sure did make for good news....but as I said was a rumor.

Does anybody else feel completely uninformed? If we strike what about medical ....unemployment ....strike money .....union position.....etc. Why don't we know or hear ANYTHING. Even just our current position. Are we asking too much?

Buzz, what's going on with a strike. Are we going to have jobs in Jan.? I heard Bloomy put the bid out already.
