Well, the tax on diesel thing is because the trucks do the most damage that requires up keep. As for not respecting truckers, that does truly suck. And they should be able to strike. That is the power of the strike for any organisation, the ability to make others hurt so that they feel your hurt. That may be too plain and simplistic, but it is essentially true. They are simply making you understand their importance in the market place. It should be a right that is unquestioned for at will employees. If your power as a member of the market is your labor, withdrawing that labor is your voice. No reason in the world that voice should be silenced.

Tell me, could that be you?
