In Reply to: Re: Solution to high fuel costs posted by Bruce Hopf on March 02, 2008 at 05:07:43:

I sated back some 20 odd years ago, that the farmer, should be alowed to strike. Up here in Canada, farming is getting tuffer, and tuffer to make it ,and to get a head, with the high rising fuel costs, fertilizer,and seed, and getting less and less for our product. Up here we martched up on parlament hill, but for 1 day. Other times for one day as well. As far as I'm concerned, all that did was make the public mad at the farmer. When a factory workers goes on strike, It is for weeks on end. I feel that all us farmers, on both sides of the border, need to be paid for what they are worth. Not This is what we are paying, take or leave it. Live stock farmers are on call 24 hours, 7 dayes a week. Averages out to be $2.00 per hour, maby more Pay that to a factory worker, he will tell you to pound rubber. For a farmers to go on strike, all we have to do is park a combine infront of a loading dock, so trucks can't unlo0ad produce, at suppermarkets. Drive our heavey equipment through the Cities, slowing down the traffic, but do this every day for 1 to 2 weeks. Only then would we be able to get the attention of our governments. When the shelves in the Supper Markets run empty. The city people will realize, Hey The Supper Markets Don't Make Or Grow The Food, like they think. Being an ex truckdriver, I know the trucking industry will be on our side, because they are also feeling the pinch of high costs of fuel as well. We have a thanklees job, and not getting paid much for our efforts. And so does the truck driver. Thanks. This is my opinion anyway. What is your opinion?
