Welcome to the boards, rh..........seems the current layoffs have something to do with saving money on paper. But what do I know!? DS.

for whatever reason UPPER, UPPER management continues to mandate layoffs at the local levels, despite the fact that it has really not gotten any slower, and most that are on layoff, continue to work pretty regularly....it's only MY opinion.....but it seems to me this is how the company is getting around the 10% rule, and gives them TOTAL flexibility to work all these guys however, whenever, and whoever they want......hey d.s., maybe it's time for the union to do a little inquiring? We all know, as long as this is working for them, THE LAYOFFS WILL CONTINUE ........the g-man:red_bandana:

how many times does boinger think the men will fall for being called back, only to get layed off time and time again?

Hey Nite Rider............I doubt Knoxville has any layoffs on the dock considering the COO didn't fill and dockworkers from 411 are working there. 671 (Winston) is a classified terminal and in the dock classification there are 55 dock guys laid off. Now if all our guys were back, it would be a little different.

The only problem I have with the UE position is when UE drivers are working mainline freight and our guys are setting at home. DS.

:clap::clap::clap:That's the way we all should be doing it..
 
10 road drivers laid off at 242. Oodles of folks laid off on the local cartage side. Some of em workin, some of em ain't.
 
This lay off has been way to long, and all due to switching from board to board. If people would realize if we carried our company seniority over half of us would not be laid off. Its to bad when you move from one board to the next you lose your seniority, and start from the bottom. WHo ever voted for this wasn't thinking, and I honestly hope it doesn't bite them back someday. I feel if we have enough employee's to vote against this we could at least work for a company that we already have put our time into.:chairshot:

Even if you got to keep your seniority after changing boards, there would still be the same number laid off. They would just be different people. More work would not magically appear.
 
i think he was talking about senior men working and junior men being the 1s layed off , not the other way around .
 
YRC is telling 272 to expect laying off 2 men. They have 32 guys currently on the board. I myself was on letter of layoff until June before I was called back.

2 months ago I began to prepare for a layoff by seeking other employment and as of tonight I will no longer be part of YRC. I have decided to move on but wanted to say thanks to all the guys I have met and worked with over the last year and a half....



Thanks to all my friends at 272.....it was a pleasure working with you!:smilie_132:

Hey Roadie.........I hope you keep in touch with us here on the boards. Are you staying in trucking or moving on to bigger, better things, if you don't mind me asking. DS.
 
Hey D.S.
I will stay in touch here.....I was wondering if there can be a category for "Roadies" something for those of us that work in the concert touring and entertainment business....I am returning to the road as.....a roadie:1036316054:

or managers now run yellow operation, we have 1 mgr for both ops.
layoff or pending layoff rex dock workers offered casual work on yellows dock by managemnet.
we are the future of combined ops.

personally i think the company is just hiding behind the economy. its there excuse for doing what they do..
breaking the union is the main objective now days .get rid of men under 20 years service and never replace them , or replace them with a casual work force.

Thirty or thirty five years ago maybe.. But the reality is in today's America you cannot support a family on a casual's pay and hours. Sure there are college kids that do it and some folks who take it as a part-time job, but replacing people with casuals won't work not in today's enviroment. Plus the costs associated with retraining people constantly has to be huge from claims to the man hours invested...
 
321 laid off 6 Saturday night after hiring 8. These are great guys who came over from AlVan. NOBODY in management was happy with the order from the Gods of YRC.
