Thanks for that brokenwench see the same at our yard.
Broken Wrench, when you work in a yard like I do where 60% of the drivers have been layed off. Where the last guy to be layed off had 12 years with the company, you start to notice the difference. If you want, I will give you the phone number of a Compton driver who has only 6 years with the company, who works every night. He would be glad to tell you how different it is in a Teamster yard. And dont forget the new Non Union yard policy, of after 4 months on lay off, you are permitently terminated, which means considering the time of year, nobody layed off in my yard is ever coming back. Yet in Compton or any other Teamster yard you will be called back by hire date up to 2 years. And also dont forget the 15% pay cut that your buddy "Pebble" gave you as a reward for standing up againest the "Contract". Some how, in your mind, you won. You guys always say the same thing, but cant back it up with any facts. I did not post that Teamster yards did not have any lay offs, just that they were few in comparsion to Non Union yards, and that lay offs for Teamsters are done in a fair way based on freight levels and only freight levels. Dont worry... "Pebble and Obama Love You"
UH? Where have you been? There have been Layoffs in EVERY TREMINAL since Texas shut down and when the Layoffs happen DS and Co. ask for names from Each terminal not just Non union. I hear and see Union Terminals hit just as hard or harder than non union treminals. Are you running the same line run each night still? Or are you doing whats left over like the guys I see that haven't been going down west into arizona for years but now have to because there no. Cal runs have been Cut. WAKE UP and SMELL the COFFEE Man!!! We are a team and in this together. And if a Promise or Guarantee that you will get you job back inside 2 years or other empty Guarantees like medical bens. Ask the Guys that Have not come back since the First Layoff TWO years ago That aren't back still!! are doing with that!!!???? WOW!!! Come on Man.
After Texas shut down, there have been very few Union layoffs. My non Union yard has layed off 60 % of all its drivers in the last 2 years. 30 minutes away in Compton a Union yard, has layed off very few, and brought most of them back. The same goes for most areas where Non Union and Union yards are close to each other, for example; Oakland has layed off very few, but Sac has been hit hard. Guess which one is Teamsters? Guess which yards terminate you permently after 4 months with No Recall, and which ones have to hire you back up to 2 years if the work levels improve ? Guess which yards guarantee your Health care benefits if you work 100 hours a month even as a casual ?
I'd vote for that one.What needs to happen is Redding ca. go union, that would allow Sacramento terminal to lay off the remaining line drivers! And then SAC-515 would be making money again! Line drivers from other barns can move SACRAMENTO'S freight! Its a no-brainer............................
"And then sac would make money again" O.K how does that work? do union drivers go out and get new accounts... Nope. I got a union barn 48 miles from mine .I KNOW what you guys do or dont do. So you can just stop with the praises, we get it,your a uinon lover and all is good.This isn't about union vs non-union anyway.We both work for REDDAWAY,By the way,IF you voted no for the pay cut, tell me how does it feel to be TOLD you will still take a 15% cut anyway,Looks your just like me......
Logistics? The quote was "so sac could make more money" You dont cut costs and claim you made more money. Unless you dollar bill. You must be drinking the yrcw kool-aid Beside's fontana could move all of sac's frieght.ITS ABOUT LOGISTICS! IF OTHER BARNS MOVE SACS FREIGHT SAC GETS TO KEEP MORE OF THE CASH. THAT KEEPS THE O.R. DOWN. NOW WHEN THE COMPANY STARTS MAKING YOU PAY FOR YOUR MEDICAL YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT SIGNING THAT U-CARD! GOOD LUCK, I HOPE THEY KEEP YOUR BARN OPEN! LOL
