Just curious, but by any chance those "Gypsie's" union? Maybe not Teamsters, but there are other Unions in Massachusetts correct? My Dad worked for Local 4 Int. Union of Operating Engineers.


Absolutely not. These are "ICs", Independent Contractors.

I'll tell you what else pisses me off.
There are sub contractors (Gypsies) pulling loads out every night and it's not even Peak. Stealing our work, and this is no problem with the union.

BUT... the company actually wants to give us a little extra money, and this IS a problem.

I get it, the union didnt get a cut. But isnt the two scenarios above a little ass backward?

What have you done about the gypsies?

Slashed their air lines, spread nails under their tires, pulled the fifth wheel release before they drive away.

Basic stuff.

What can you do? Apparently the union knows it's happening.
