Yellow | Layoffs at your terminal

342

Four dock and two P&D additional layoffs as of today. Total city layoff around 20, but all on "soft" layoff.
 
4 Roaddrivers Laid off @ Fenton Mo. #341

As of 00:01 9/7/08 we will have a total of 4 roaddrivers on lay off + 1 on ESL. And all 4 was working good at the time of letters!!!!:chairshot:
 
The hits keep coming........I have heard that 671 (Winston) is laying off 5 more road drivers and 5 more dock workers Saturday night............the middle of September of all times!! DS.
 
429 has one P&D on soft as of today, unfortunatly it's ME! :nutkick: I was on soft for about 6mos, then worked back on in march. It's too early to be starting this. I had a part time gig before, but not now. Cant sit around waiting for the phone to ring. I may just hit the road for a while. :shrug:
 
243 laid off 1 more man last nite. I can't figure out why because we are all working 60 hrs a week and have more freight than we can handle. probably trying to make room for our new co-workers. I also found out yesterday that I am below every single man at yellow but I still have 10 guys below me at Big R. will I still be working.....only time will tell but I can tell you one thing I have been shopping around. I am willing to relocate if anyone has any advice.
 
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.

I agree with this....We need people bad in philly and have for a while....when vacations started we needed drivers then alot of guys have retired in the last few yrs and for every ten that retires they might hire one....but I noticed the ink wasn't even dry on the part time thing and yellow was using them we have 10 now working on the dock.....yellow is working them 5 1/2 hours ....they we're suppose to be used 4 but if they get to 6 hours then the day counts toward his "days" to make payroll....Yellow will never hire another straight dock man...they told us along time ago dockmen are a dime a dozen.....well I got news for them the dime a dozen dockworkers they got now with the partimers can't load a trailer for crap...no concept of high and tight......big skid in front of lil skid....If they had a clue they would can theses clown and give a true dockman loading the trailers.I had bid the dock last time but after 2 weeks of that crap jumped on the next open driving bid.
The old saying you get what you pay for....parttime dockworkers=halfass loading.....:1036316054:
 
we just baught a trucking company in china ,$58 million cash i think it was . waaa!!! we're broke hmmmm
 
mustangfan, you have the casual thing wrong, its 4 hours min. they can work them 10 if they want too
 
Any more lay offs?

Is there any other terminal who has laid off this week, besides (313- Milwaukee). Usually they lay off in waves!
 
just heard from a super. that two for sure will be laid off friday maybe three terminal (313) Milwaukee,WI, we are getting hit hard here
 
unfortunately the lay offs will continue until corporate reaches that number they need for the integration of this company......that's how you cut thousands of jobs subtly, by doing it 5 or 10 at a time here and there......it all adds up.....
 
Small time lay off at 120......4 roaddrivers last week I believe but they seem to be working a bit.
Also looking for about the same # to retire very shortly.
Drivers board is now rebiding and again 4 time starts have been cut from the bid. Slavinomics strikes again! Have no real bids here as it is and freight lays all over New England cause of their flexability.....lol....what goes around,comes around!
