Have you ever once entertained the thought that the business model actually works???? Or is that too much to ask?
Wow so far from true. The YRCW members voted to give back so their company could have operating money.
Actually the teamsters at YRCW is kinda inspiring to me and should be to everyone.
The teamsters have gotten a bad reputation for being selfish and self centered, then comes along these YRCW folks and blow holes all threw that theory.
YRCW members showed that the members still give a damn. Good for them.
Those dues you hate are tax deductible BTW.
I'm all about trashing the IBT at the national level but the points you are " making fun of " make me want to be a teamster.
Gotta be original not what your SCM tells ya to post.
Having been in the teamsters for 31 years their give back is just like the ESOP of yester year employee stock option where you are part owner. It did not work then and it won't work now ghe union dropped the ball many years ago when all the major carriers were folding they should have redesigned the pension plan Andalusia it fair to all employers did they think the outfit with 40 men wa going to pay for everyone. With the latest acceptance of the ups pension buy out things are changing for everyone . Yrc is not going anywhere I know guys that work there and they can't believe the money we make and the things we get away with
Are you saying we work for Fed Exron ?

If he doesn't post what the SCM tells him to, they cut back on his Koolaid ration.

RC is speaking in the third person again....
I can tell you that yrc doesn't pay 80 bucks in dues....But ups parcel does
Dues are based on 2-1/2x's your wage.

I'm not sure what KK's official duties are but he is the moderator on the YRCF board.

I will always respect and have a found spot in my heart for USF/YRCW. I spent 5 good years as a (pro-union) USF Dugan Linehaul driver out of KCY.
What you drivers at YRCW did should be an example to all drivers. Especially the back stabbing all about me guys.
Nice to see for once
hey is that you standing in front of those dugan triples? if so I new you when you worked there' I guess your a corn chip cowboy now out of the tpk traffic center ?
