ABF will make money again without taking money from us. They have been at this a long time to quote Bob Davidson " This ain't there first rodeo" . The people in Fort Smith know what they are doing. They know that if they force a pay cut then the good relationship that they have always had with their union employees will be ruined. ask any former CF, Preston, Yellow, Roadway employee that works at ABF about how they were treated before they came to ABF. There is no us against them mentality at ABF. We are all going to be ok. The company and us. Yes it has been a tough year or two especially if you got laid off but this season is almost over. I hope and pray that all laid off workers will be called back soon as some have already been called back. Maybe you ain't working hard enough for your 60,000 and 70.000 driving job. I feel like I earn my 50,000 on the dock. It would be an insult to me for them to ask me to work for less money. No offense but if you are working hard for them than you deserve every penny. You are working hard ain't you?
My buying power has gone down every year for over 10 years with my little 2% raises per year. You want me to work for less HELL NO!!:nono:
