Too late to grow them. Vote tally has already begun. But nice first post.
 
Heard today that Zollars will visit each facility so he can personally thank the rank and file for their support and yes votes.
 
I've never seen such a bunch of Negative, Mean Spirited ..and downright Hostile group of fellow employees as those who voted no and post on this forum
...Our Teamster Leadership negotiated long and hard to get the best deal that would satisfy the company(the Banks and noteholders) and would keep us on the job, to hopefully get back on our feet as a viable company in this tough economy.
A no vote in this present economy, with no decent jobs available on the outside was just too much risk..it's not the "old days"..there is no going back to the table..the lenders and noteholders hold all the cards..as proven by the recent approval of the $350 million credit line...CONTINGENT on the approval of the Restructuring Plan which gives YRC the capital to go forward and keep us in business.
NO one, including myself likes the situation..but why give up after coming this far, for basically a weeks vacation, and screw myself and my family, lose my home , etc.
Alot of NO voters don't seem to believe anything anyone tells them about the financial state of the company..even though outside analyists have been brought in to assess the financial state of YRC..there is no hope for anyone that thinks they are constsntly being lied to..who thinks their finalcial expertise and analysis is more accurate than professional analytical firms who have all the facts and figures.
I and a lot of my buddies was considering a no vote until getting the facts..it was not worth the risk!..Live to fight another day..ALWAYS FIGHT(NEGOTIATE)FROM A POSITION OF STRENGTH NOT WEAKNESS..Teamster Power Will Rise Again!

Did you mean this leadership? The myth of Hoffa the reformer
 
...Our Teamster Leadership negotiated long and hard to get the best deal that would satisfy the company(the Banks and noteholders) and would keep us on the job

Isn't it funny that everyone was put before the workers. Company, Bank & Noteholders. I thought I was paying dues for the Union to represent me and all of the workers paying dues.

i heard that abf is going to stop pension payments and and implement 15 percent wage cut and all yrc work rules. and if the ibt strikes, abf says there are a lot of drivers that need to work. sounds like it could get ugly if this is so.
 
Now where did you " hear " this ?
