Sounds like Mitch and the boys caved in.....holy ::shit:: the company has no backbone.......on the other hand it's no surprise since Mitch was fired by Roadway in his early career but Yellow made him a director.
 
all of the bids up for all 3 terminals was only 12 daytime dock jobs out of spite because they were so far behind we went from 1500 bills behind to over 3000 bills behind, not sure if we're gonna be working the other dock again or bring everybody back on the south dock because the bids dont show inbound and outbound like they used to but we're just glad all of our brothers are coming back at this point, whole change was unnecessary, we deliver more freight in Dallas than just about anywhere else in the system and with all of our guysworking we can catch that up in a day even with the bph everybody likes to talk about which isnt our fault either and whats more important, the customers getting their freight on time and undamaged in a metro with all the rails and every highway going north south east and west or trying to punish the rank and file by routing the freight around us and spending months trying to figure out how to get at the workers at 511

Dallas Teamsters stick together. Need more barns like 511. Stay strong 511[/QUOT
Really? How do you sleep at night giving a 50% effort while the competition rolls over your company? How would you come home and tell your family that while you stood strong you are now out of a job and you will lose your house? Other companies are capitalizing on YRC's issues in Dallas and steam rolling to record profits in this market alone. Check out the growth of XPO and start-up Daylight Transportation. To think that laying down for a moment is absolutely insane for the longevity of teamsters as we know it.

That is corporate America. A pissed off company that wants to make an example of someone will spend 10 bucks when they could have spent 1 dollar to wear you down. Ask any attorney. Appeals can go on for years. Can you last that long without settlement? Corporations don't think so. So they like to drag it out. Even if the know they will loose all their appeals & have to pay you, they will spend thousands to prove a point. happens all the time. von.
