I hope you win Mr. Weller!!!! The union is nothing more than an outdated beaurocracy that tries to bully its members and companies both. Is this why Canadian lumber is so popular? Paying union lobbyists in D.C. costs hard working Montanans their jobs and money!!!

I support you a 100% Mr. Weller. My father was a Truck Driver also for 40 years and you didn’t work if you weren’t a member of the Teamster’s. I work for the City where it’s the same situation you either have to become a union member of AFSCME or pay Ceaser what is due Ceaser in order to work. I also agree with Union Free Worker’s statement that the union is nothing more than a outdated beauroracy which tries to bully its memebership in to submission by thinking that the only way they will ever get a liveable wage is by letting them be their voice.
