Yellow | BREAKING NEWS ; ABF Freight System, Inc. Files Legal Actions Against Teamsters, YRCW

ABF did open their books and the Teamster Leadership decided concessions were needed, but it was voted down.

What is there to cry foul about is Article 6 Section 2. The employer agrees not to enter into any agreement or contractwith it's employees, individually or collectively, which in any way conflicts with the terms and provisions of this agreement. Any such agreement shall be null and void.

Simply put......YRC is in violation of this contract.

Hoffa might be a lawyer but I would not hire him. You cannot extend a contract for one company that other company also signed. This violated the NMFA. Getting the 15% give back is not the problem, it changing the language and extending the contract before it expires. If you are stupid enough to give your money back then that is your business, But you cannot rewrite the contract for one and still keep the contract for another.

GO ABF
 
I don't think that's it at all. I don't read that. ABF is a very straight forward company, and they said they simply want YRC to go by the current contract and they want reperations.

This has been entertaining to watch, YRC imploding upon itself. Slight tingle down my leg actually. "For the first time in my life, I'm proud of a Bull Frog....."

Some FACTS !

What is ABF seeking in its legal proceedings?
ABF’s goal in the grievance and lawsuit is to enforce the NMFA and have the YRC-only amendments declared null and void and to obtain compensation for the damages sustained by ABF as a result of paying much higher wage and benefit costs than our largest NMFA-covered competitor.

At least R-14Driver will include a reputable link with his posts instead of the multiple mindless YouTube nonsense some post day after day after day.

We could ask for...oh, I don't know, 100% pension, all back pay and a partridge in a pear tree?
 
Could you get hired at ABF. Remember YRC empolyees are not from a commonly owned carrier and have NO preferance.
