What a waste of postage if this is mailed out......how about giving us some real information instead of blowing smoke .....again
i myself like the little "on a personal level" comment about going to sleep and waking up each morning... at least mr johnson knows he'll be falling asleep and waking up in his house that he can afford because the "equal sacrifice" concessions made by the members don't really effect him in any real way, after he helps sell the freight division down the river he'll hop to another ship! maybe the police teamsters or the bus driver's teamsters!

The key to this letter is this : "To be clear, any potential changes to the NMFA will follow the Teamsters Union’s Constitution. The decision on whether to accept any changes will be yours." after that you can decide on it's worth if any .
If they really wanted to cut costs they should prove it by starting to cut at the top. Not just by taking pay cuts, but by getting rid of some of the over management. I don"t know how it is at other barns, but at our barn we have more supervisors than we have ever had. At a time where business is down, what the hell are they supervising? Most of the time it seems they are supervising a coffee cup in the office. Lets talk about all of the redundancy at upper management levels. How many useless jobs are there at Overland Park? How many VP's of this, and VP's of that do they need. And let's have a few more assistants to the VP, I am sure we are runniing short on those too. We all know by now that management has never seen any other ways to cut cost other than by the union workers to take a pay cut. Let's all join together by writing "return to sender" on this letter and letting the international have proof that we all are tired of sacrificing when upper management is not willing to sacrifice themselves. If only our management dealt with failure as the old Japanese did, (hint to Bill Z.) fall on the sword already, you are a proven failure.

my paycuts have almost outpaced my federal withholding taxes.over 6000.00 dollars in total paycuts.darn near that in taxes.talk to the govt for more paycuts not me
better to give in and have a decent job than not . I'd rip my left nut out with a rusty screw driver for a teamster job . I drive and made a whopping 6 K so far this year and the work is over in a couple weeks till next July . Tickets for over weight axles pile up because of the 28 foot trailers . I get up at 3.00 AM and do not get home till 6:30 PM . It is a constant fight to try and out smart the DOT to save on them over weight , bad tire and other tickets from the inspection point we have to drive through every day 3 or 4 times . Not just the DOT . They trained the local cops to do inspections .
the list goes on and on ... Life at your company is not so bad compared to this crap . If I were you I would give some to keep a good job if I thought it would turn around soon .
but that is me . Your opinion my differ.

On a personal level...do I really care if you wake up in the morning??? I'm thinking NOT!!!
Sorry you have to work under these conditions,but if we keep giving back every time YRC cries, then we ALL will be working under the conditions you are working under ...Somewhere it has to stop...Enough is enough...

You obviously have already willingly given the company your right one, Why on Earth would you give them the other one too and be a eunuch for a crap job that this has become. I suggest you discuss this with your wife first. I'm thinking she'd rather have a man with ball then that crap job you're willing to give it up for!

Let the B.S. start (again)!
If the union allowed the Chicago local to vote independently, why not let Holland vote the same way???? YRC is taking us down and I'm sick of our union allowing it! Give me back my 15% and let me invest MY money the way I want to. Tyson Johnson sleeps very well at night, believe me. Hoffa Jr sleeps very well at night as well. Maybe if these crooks would have to get by on the same wages as we do, they might think differently. ABF proved they could turn a concession down, let us do the same! Grow some gonads people and don't let anybody take any more from us! This is never gonna stop, unless we do something about it... NOW!
