unfair labor
Penske is famous for race cars and truck leasing, car sales etc. They have a very glamorous reputation. One of the things that no one knows about the Penske empire is that they help any company with trucking employees, reduce, or phase out the older employees from the labor market. This was the case with 30 workers that were working for the Indianapolis Star. The Indianapolis Star, gave the employees a "Sign On" bonus to move from the Star's payroll to the Penske payroll. Every single year, after moving to the Penske payroll, the employees took wage reductions, lost job assignments to non-union workers. The Penske workers, of course were made to keep paying union dues to keep their jobs. After years of asking the workers to take pay cuts, finally Penske came to the workers and said, THEY (The Indianapolis Star) want you to take a $5 per hour pay cut, and we are not even going to let you vote on on it. So you're pretty much out of a job. This is a perfect example of two very large companies working together, to reduce your standard of living, with total disregard for the Union contract they were supposed to be following. (we were paying union dues and had a contract) The union was in on it as well, every greivance that was filed, was answered with the response "no-merit"

service
I went to pick up a truck at the rental site (storage unit)
The owner or employee was 20 minutes late, thus causing me to be late with my movers.She was down right rude,
I rented a 26' truck and it had a car hauler on the back.
this lady made me take the trailer off of the truck before I could take it.this would not have been bad in any other case but folks I am physically handicapped.Both of my legs are in braces and you can plainly see that I was handicapped. I will tell you now that I will never get a penske anything ever again.
