As others have said it's tough to find a tacoma, but 4runners are pretty common. There is two right by me with 4wd that I might be able to pull cv's frs* oem, but I'm not sure I'll have time this weekend. I got one from them and it was about $40 with a year warranty. Not bad for an OEM cv.

Give em an inch and they come back wanting a whole fuc*in mile.

Unions were a great idea, but all they have done is protect shitty workers and give workers a sense of over demanding entitlement.

There is no more work ethic, unions don't focus on teaching employees the importance of building and keeping a strong work ethic. People just want shit given to them for little or no work.

Pisses me off.

Exactly!

I'm all for unions when they actually stand for something and don't just try to screw everyone. I know we don't see all the workers, but the ones I do see fucking suck! full of attitude, slow, just all around horrible work ethic. If they tried to work a day ion most our shoes they would be gone before lunch.

One of my friends posted this on FB today. Sums up my feeling on the matter nicely.

...shamelessly stolen: said:

Dear BART Workers,

I am a union member and have been since I was about 20.

When I worked at a non-union ambulance company where management screwed labor I personally helped to organize the work force into Local 250 of the SEIU. We sued the employer with the help of the NLRB and we won. The anti-union owner gave up and sold his company to a larger ambulance provider rather then run a union shop.

So, my tendency is to support labor.

But, I cannot support you, Mr./Ms. BART worker about to strike. Not in good conscience.

“The average BART employee is paid $76,551. More then the median household income in San Francisco.“

“The average BART employee is paid far more than transit workers in other systems; $30,000 more than Los Angeles transit employees and $10,000 more per year than employees of San Francisco Muni.“

“Unlike most people with retirement plans, BART employees have never contributed to their pension plans.“

“BART employees only contribute $92 a month towards their health insurance, half the national average for individuals.”

Bottom line: You have not been screwed by management. You have been 'cutting a fat hog' by anyone’s standards (except yours, apparently).

I don’t ride BART to work. So your strike will only inconvenience me peripherally while I commute by car, as I have for 39 years.

I do ride BART to SF Giants games, but their season is over. By the time they are playing again in AT&T Park you all will have been replaced and BART will be running.

If you decide to strike you are all fools. If your leadership is telling you to strike they are fools.

If you strike you will find that the people that do commute via BART will turn their collective backs on you. You will get NO sympathy from them. Most of those people make far less then you do and they rely on YOU to keep their commuter train running on time. When you strike you will take money out of their wallets and food out of their children’s mouths. YOU will be the bad guy, not management.

You are all replaceable. So am I.

Wise up and be happy to have a well paying job with good benefits. Don’t be a foolish lemming and follow your leaders off the cliff.

Fuggem All!!! I have 37% decrease in pay in last couple months with a massive restructure going on... I would love a steady 12% increase and their awesome benefits

Ian - that's so spot on! What BART needs to do is invest in the technology of making the trains automated and get rid of those damn greedy workers
