Reddaway | All Reddaway employees will give up 15% or...

rtm457 said:
What makes any Reddaway employee think that they are any different from a New Penn or Holland employee? You should have been giving back 15 percent a long time ago just like New Penn and Holland. We should be the ones complaining if you haven't been giving back during the same period of time we have been on giveback. Get in step with the program.

Don't complain because you choose not to be represented and have a voice in the workplace. You're the one's who won't stand up to exercise your rights as a worker. If it weren't for the union terminals, you wouldn't have been at 100% pay up until Oct. 25. Just keep riding the union benefits coat tails.

Your the one that doesent understand ! It wasent just about the pay cut our contract was up jan 1 we are fighting for a contract that you allready have ! we will give our 15 % when we get good and ready we dont give a ::shit:: what you THINK !!
 
rtm457, why are you so angry at these guys? They have nothing to do with what they have or haven't gave back so far. It's all been discussed between the IBT and YRCW so far. Ease up on the Reddaway members if you want to keep posting in their forum, remember you're a guest in their forum.

so what are the reddaway drivers in the northwest going to make an hour after the 15% pay cut? And when does it go into effect? Here in broke***cali we make 19.45/hr! We are the lowest paid ltl drivers in town! You just got to **emwthasmile:)
 
Man, what I would give to make $19.45 an hour, plus the benefits i enjoyed while employed at reddaway. Currently laid off and have had to take some low paying jobs and still like to drop in from time to time and see that you drivers and still complaining about Union vs Non Union, 15% pay cuts, Whos getting more than who( or is it Whom?). Wake up and be thankful for what you've got because soon it will be gone. Then you will be paddleing in my boat and realize how trivial all this was

We'll be down to $19hr.
Should be in effect the next pay period after next week on the first when they get the votes counted.

In a couple of weeks all votes will be complete for all Reddaway employees concerning the 15% give back. YRCW and the IBT are saying every Reddaway employee will agree to the 15% give back or else YRCW will merge Reddaway in to YRC. Reddaway employees that are Union are under a white paper contract. This means that all Reddaway employees would end tail behind YRC employees, per the NMFA. In other words the threat is agree to the 15% give back or the laid off YRC guys will be doing Reddaway's work and the current Reddaway guys will be laid off. It's your choice to make guys, they're trying to do Reddaway just like they did New Penn.

It will no longer be Reddaways work because most of our customers will not do business with YRC. Also you are not completely accurate here. There is nothing in writing here concerning this. It is just rumor so far. This was basically the plan under Zollars, but has since been changed. They are now talking about routing freight around terminals that don't accept the concessions, and possibly closing terminals. All of this would have to be done through change of operations. Hopefully we will be sold soon and we can say good bye to YRCW for good.

I heard it during a meeting with Hoffa and Johnson. It was stated as fact, what I posted came straight from them. They said to not put any spin on anything discussed in that meeting. To tell it just like it was and not to BS the members. If you can talk to a local Reddaway BA ask them if this is true or not, they will back up what I posted for everyone to read for themselves. The meeting was mainly concerning the NMFA company's but Reddaway was brought up by them so everyone knew what was going on out west. You know I don't post BS as fact, I posted exactly what was stated by the IBT upper management, no more and no less. Read everything that I posted and see what comes true and what doesn't.
 
11-18-2009 Meeting

The meeting I'm referring to was the one explaining the letter being sent to the members and what the letter meant to everyone affected.

Speaking of routing freight around terminals:Off-Topic:. The company is loading Cross creek trucks with freight out of CAL to Tacoma. And TWT trucks out of Cal to Spokane. Hope your not a cal Line driver they dont need you anymore. Too bad you dont have someone to represent you ! But you can allways go talk to the TM Right ?:biglaugh:

Either you don't want to admit it, or you're not reading enough. The COO to merge NP was implemented following the no vote; the COO was put on hold after all but 1 NP Local begged for a revote. The revote saved YRC a ton of money and put things back the way they wanted it.

Well lets see what YRC has up there sleeve now that the vote for the pay cut and our contract was voted DOWN !!
 
I just heard it was voted down. I too am curious as to what YRCW will do now. I guess we will have to wait and see.

we should shut yrc down and save the rest the ibt is only worryed yrc lets all stop paying union dues iam tired of be bullyed by the ibt hoffa tyson they could give to ***** about us it all about yrc **** them half of their men are layed off
 
Well as far as equil sacrafice goes. Heard to day that the salesman in eugene quit went to work for express frt. They made him an offer that was better than what he was getting from RETL. SOOO the company BEATS express frts offer and he goes to work for them. Well i thought EVERYONE was getting a pay cut ? how can RETL offer a pay RAISE to the salesman ?? EQUIL SACRAFICE MY ***. !!!!
 
The reason "why" they can offer the saleman more money is simple. For the most part there's some continuity within driver, dock, line wages. Even though there's some difference between union, non-union, regional variations, the pay is close enough to keep the squabbling down. Now when it comes to management, sales, and clerical, there's HUGE discrepancies across the board.

For instance. We have lost some of our best people at PGO because they are bringing in people to CCG and paying them more after a year or two than those who have been with us 20+. We have some great workers making extremely subpar wages for what they do outside of driving. They've been making the unknown sacrafice. Getting the shaft from a company they put their trust in. Then they take the 15% hit, and they're sitting so far below what some initial hires receive. If the economy wasn't as bad as it was there would be even more people bailing on Reddaway.

Something to think about, from the YRC thread -Yrc May Close If Chicago Votes No- .

>Well i have to admit they are good speakers and it was a good meeting
I enjoyed it, they answered a lot of questions <

Well are you going to tell them what was said?
That the 5% and the pension payment is the secondary issue--------THE MAIN ISSUE HERE ARE THE BANKS.
The banks will not maintain 1st position in a bankruptcy with the whitepaper aggreements these locals have if they don't vote yes to the pension deferrals. The pension funds will maintain 1st position without a yes vote. This is unacceptable to the banks. Whether you like it or not the banks have let them slide 11 times this year. While they do not want to see a bankruptcy occur-IF IT DOES there is no way they will take 2nd position to the the pension funds. By helping us out they have kept hope alive they will be repaid but this issue with the locals is what is driving this vote.
Dec. 14th is the date the banks have given them to &quot;get the act together&quot; or they will &quot;take action&quot; This is no joke!
If you think this is BS I'm telling you - start making some phonecalls and find out for yourself instead of believing these fools on here. if your future is not important to you or your family then do nothing and stick your head in the sand.
Even if you still want to vote no, you at least owe it to yourself and others to find out what is really behind this instead of believing everything you heard on CH 19.
Its not that the IBT didn't have the constituional right to grab the locals its that they don't have the money to waste on lawsuits and YRC is running out of time and money.
Believe what you want. It's real simple -the banks have about had it and this is the last straw- THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT 2nd POSITION period. I admit, I thought this was over the 5% but when I heard the real reason it was a real
eye-opener.

You know if they shut down the company because it was voted down then you know good and well it was going to happen anyway. That's the way I see it anyway.
