This is the way it is, your wrong. Your not losing your job, your getting to go where your freight is going. You might be at a terminal where all your drivers get to follow their freight. All our drivers dont get too. They say they only need 9 out of our 14 drivers to cover our freight. So dont tell me when you dont know the facts!
 
Wrong again

In our terminal we were told conway has 180 days to call them back. I think conway is doing what they need to to survive. In nj 1 driving is losing there job. Were closing 1 terminal and they dont have room for 1 driver. I feel for him, but it could be worse it could be yellow/roadway laying off thousands now and more in the future.Be thankful for what you have.

You people need to wake up. You dont have 180 days to be called back. You have 0 days. We have 2 personel people from Ann Arbor camped out at our closing terminal. We have been round and round with them about this, this is the way it is. So dont state facts you dont know about

Take a breath for pete's sake ... I believe you ... they said that a very small number where going to flat out lose their job. It is very unfortunate it is happening where you are at. One swipe of the pen has changed my job selection 3 times in this company the last 2 years ...

Sad day for 15,000 plus employees.
I believe it was Tuesday September 3, 2002. I believe they were off on Monday Labor day.
They went bankrupt and closed all of CF and left the employees hanging.
Con-way closed 40 to streamline and run more efficient, they are also helping the displaced worker.

There is a huge difference between what happened at Consolidated Freightways (100% loss of jobs) and what's happening at Con-way Freight. ( About 1% loss of jobs)
 
Thank you DW, for clearing that up....I cannot even believe that ANYONE would make the comparison:

9/2/02....CF closes, 15,000 out of jobs, no severance, no warning, some were called at home while having Labor Day get togethers and bbqs...Instantaneously, management is blamed for the closing, for doing nothing to save it...

11/3/08...Con-way closes 40 service centers, 75% will relocate to nearby service centers, less than 200, or less than 1% of the workforce, will be left unemployed, with severance up to 13 weeks, + full year ICP, + cobra benefits, + career counseling for those who need it..Savings to equal 30 million per year, customers get seemless superior service...Instantaneously, management is blamed for the closings, for doing something to save our futures...

There were many winners and losers in this comparison, but only one group lost in both...

You got to make up your mind, I suppose..

You have seen too many movies, my friend, maybe "Armagedon"....Way too much drama, overeaction and just plain foolishness...

We are far far away from anything you are imagining...or perhaps you are one of those people that began dying the day you were born...So I will help you in your thought process...when you get up tomorrow, you will most assuredly be one day closer to dying, or the end...Guaranteed..
 
Thanks! I recall the closing and reading about it but the date didn't click. :1036316054:

Their closing terminals for long term befefits to help the company survive, makes sense. But the way their doing it makes no sense. Their taking only a certain amount of drivers that they projectected they'll need to cover the freight from the closing terminals. The rest of the drivers who dont fall into the projections will be terminated with a severence package. What happens in a week, 2 weeks, a month, 2 months down the road they found out they projected wrong and they need more drivers. Well the terminated drivers cant fall into those positions, the company says they have to be rehired. Start all over. Theres good drivers with over 5, 10, 15, and even 20 yrs of service losing their jobs without any kind of recall rights. Its bad enough these guys cant bump into the terminals that are taking their freight, by senoirity. But they cant even be put into a position if one becomes available without being rehired. When you got guys keeping their jobs with less than 1 yr.senority and a 15yr. guy loses his job, somethings wrong. It shows how much this company cares about loyalty and commitment. Its just wrong!

did you just hear what you wanted to hear or make up
conway is not firing anybody and them guys that you say have all of the years in can go to another terminal and be dovetailed in the rank

what conway is doing is better for the company and employees than most aleast they are offering packages and trying to help them
not just you show up one day and the doors are locked up and a note on the door saying sorry see ya down the road

I believe a lot had to do with the adversarial position the teamsters create at the union shops. As far as being canned with no notice, the employees knew long before it was a possibility but thought their beloved union could protect them.
Time & time again the various unions have put the welfare of their dues paying members well below that of their corrupt leaders.......case in point the P-9 strike against hormel or the Air traffic controllers. Their still whining about losing their jobs & its every ones fault but theirs or their unions. It hard to fell sympathy for a group of people who are unemployed because they help drive their company out of business.
 
I think that Conway is being fair about this. We are a non-union company and as such we have no contract. The company did not have to offer anything to the affected employees. They could have just told the affected employees "we are shutting down your terminal, you will no longer be needed there is the door". There is no comparison between what happened at CF and this. It sad that some peoples will loose their jobs but this will make the company a better stronger company. And for those of us that remain will be a good thing. Conway is a strong company that is still making a profit and will come thru this okay.
 
Damn straight! The shop guys got two weeks to work after black monday but the building maintenance guys were shown the door right away. I mean, I clocked in at 5:55 a.m. monday morning and then my boss brings me in his office with this accountant or someone and tells me I no longer have a job and shows me the door. I had to practically beg to get my lunch box and coffee!
