UNIONS let me tell you how great they are. Being formally from Lordstown Ohio I hauled cars as a union member I had to join to work no choice. When i moved to Florida there was about 650 car haulers working there today only a few dozen remain. Also not to say one of the assembly plants was removed. Now I ask you Union or NO UNION I say let the unions go as what they created in Detroit and Lordstown PLEASE GO AWAY

mY HUSBAND HAS BEEN HAULING CARS FOR APPROX. 3 YRS NOW. OR “WAS” SHOULD i SAY. IT WAS VERY QUESTIONABLE RATHER HE SHOULD TAKE HIS FIRST CAR HAULING JOB AND BECOME PART OF THE UNION….YOU HEAR A LOT OF GOOD THINGS , YOU KNOW THE OLD SAYING IF IT’S TO GOOD TO BE TRUE THEN IT PROBLY IS ? WELL AFTER LAY-OFF, AFTER LAY-OFF MY HUSBAND IS NOW JOBLESS. THERE WAS NEVER JOB SECURITY. THAT FIRST JOB HE TOOK, THEY ENDED UP ON STRIKE 2 YRS LATER AND THEN THE COMPANY THAT PICKED THEM UP A MONTH LATER IS NOW SHUTTING THEIR DOORS. MY HUSBAND HAS WORKED 3 WEEKS SINCE JAN. 1, 2009 AND IT’S NOW APRIL 14…AGAIN, WHERE IS THE JOB SECURITY THAT THE UNION PROMISES ? WE ARE BARELY MAKING ENDS MEET RIGHT NOW. I BARELY MAKE A FOURTH OF WHAT MY HUSBAND WAS MAKING AND SO WE ARE REALLY FEELING THE AFFECTS OF JOB LOSE AND THE ECONOMY IN GENERAL………IT’S JUST BAD TIMES AND RIGHT NOW IS NO TIME FOR YOU TO BE LETTING ANYONE CONTROL YOUR JOB STABILITY.

As an employed driver of Hansen’s I can assuredly tell you that no effort to become a unionized carrier will ever happen here at Hansen & Adkins Auto Transport or Harbor Auto Transport. The drivers here are against union policies and practices. Former Teamster drivers here have been soured by and towards the Teamsters. Teamster Car Hauling is pretty much dead.

Trust me, its not going to happen. Not at URS and thats for sure, do your research, all the states that are struggling financially are pro-union, wonder why. When the smoke clears, URS will have a good chunk of the market. Union days are numbered….
