Hey Benny, I know everything is rumor now. But with the master freight contract vs UPSF contract how do you think Holland drivers would fell if they went to our contract. Let's say IF it could be done.
I'm sure you have looked at our contract. Our retirement is I think pretty secure with UPS. Do you think most drivers would welcome it or fight against it. YRC is pretty unpredictable and I would think USF drivers might welcome a deal with UPS. Am I on or way off base???
 
Skeeter,
Please convince your management that they need to buy USF Holland. We would be happy to be their regional carrier. And we would be happy to be under your contract also. Please have them throw us a life-line....soon.
Thank you,
NF
(and all other Holland employees)
 
Skeeter that is a very good question and is also a subject of conversation in our barn. To me it would depend on the tenure you have in the union. Myself I'm at the 20 year mark and 51 years of age. Put it this way, I would give up a lot for job security. I feel as long as YRC has control of us we will only be used as a siphon. Its hard for me to comprehend why Holland, New Penn and Reddaways business model isn't being used. 5 or 6 years ago someone would have snatched these companies up in a NY minute. My vote would be Hell ya. GRIZZ

Hey Benny just wondering why Reddaway's non union guys got a 30 cent raise this week!!

I can't tell you for sure? I know Reddaway's not in the NMFA and their raises are controlled differently than ours. Plus, the Union portion of Reddaway isn't meeting about their white paper contract again until sometime in February, so I suppose YRC can do what ever they want to with Reddaway and I can't figure out why they do the stupid things they do to all of us in the NMFA, so I know I can't tell you why they do the stupid things they do at Reddaway. :shrug:
 
Skeeter, I think NF and Grizz speak for the way most guys would feel about this issue, if it were to happen. We're all so sick of the way our company has been treated by YRC that almost anything would be welcome to us, compared to the way it is right now. As for the IBT, who knows what they would do about this if it happened? I've heard this rumor for so many years it would have to happen and I still might not believe it, even if they changed the name on everything.

I sure hope it happens because I know a lot of Reddaway drivers out west that I only hope the best for.

No, its the same old stuff. UPS, ABF, UPSF and whoever else you want to throw in. Nothing new, he was just asking, if it was UPS, how would we feel and what about the different contract language. He was just asking a hypothetical question.

look at the Estee's board and see what's going on with those poor people,Who needs a union?????They should camp out on his frount lawn,maybe he would send the servents out to give them some turkey scraps for Xmas!:Flame-On:
 
Really guys!!!! UPS would have to assume so much debt to buy holland, I just don't see it ever happening! Don't get me wrong, I would love to see it happen. Just don't see UPS putting out that kind of cash!!!!!!
