Yellow | Thinking Beyond Ourselves-A Moral Perspective

Everyone is entitled to their say.
Some drink the koolaid, others don't believe the people serving the koolaid, some people think they are hiding more koolaid in swiss bank accounts, others think their is no more koolaid to serve, some think their is no koolaid right now but should be more koolaid later, some don't like the taste of the koolaid they are serving & want the koolaid stand to close up & then there's me that think the koolaid stand is holding back a little on the koolaid mix & has it watered down a little more than it should be.
I'll revise my thinking part of the koolaid stand. The koolaid stand wants other people to start hauling our koolaid but I think we should be hauling our own koolaid.
 
Wow don't like the company, don't like the union that's a tough spot no wonder you don't want to work here any longer.......................
 
In past and present SEC filings and press releases, the company states that they are saving $350,000,000 dollars a year, under the current concessions. So, if they're paying out at least $200,000,000 in principle and interest a year, they are left with $150,000,000 to play with, now they're asking for $100,000,000 more.
Some very small concessions, on individuals may be needed to compete with non-union companies, but "NOT" a $200.00+ a week pay cut and 75% reduction in pension contributions. Also, there are many employees that had to give up a weeks vacation valued between $1000.00 to $1800.00.
YRC Worldwide is spearheading the effort to slow the growth of CDL drivers pay and benefits throughout the whole trucking industry, whether it be union or non-union, LTL or TL. When we took the first round of concessions, a vast majority of non-union companies followed suit by reducing their pay and benefits, freezing pay raises, and/or reducing the 401k match. These concessions are excessive and are going to be permanent. We will never get the 15% back, the wages that we are working for "IS" the new top pay, any future pay increases will be based on that. As far as the pension goes, YRC Worldwide has been one of the major corporations lobbying Congress for the past several years to change the multi-employer pension fund liability.
 
Keep voting no and you won't be there long.
Keep voting YES & you won't have one either. The big picture of all the brave men who came before us who faced the same decisions that we have & they voted NO that's why we have all the rights & benefits because they stood strong in the face of losing everything. Since YRC starting voting Yes we have systematically lost benefits, jobs and with each YES vote we continue to lose ONE NO VOTE was suppose to close the doors & it didn't we got them to giveback something ( very little) A Yes vote has not brought us one positive thing it's just brought us here poorer, weaker & ready to kill they brother !! The UNION & COMPANY HAS TOLD YOU THE SAME EXACT STORY AT EACH VOTE ( THEY DID THE SAME AT ABF) A YES VOTE doesn't give you another day to fight just another day which you'll get either way
 
All of the brave men who came before us lived in a different time, when our union president and other officials recommend this is what we need to do why do you think you know better?

That's the difference between Regulation and Deregulation, the playing field is no longer even the high cost provider loses.

You want to make the most you have to be the best, we seem to be far from that at the moment, until this crap gets behind us and we work together we never will be.

No. You're trying to pull on heartstrings
With the "sick kids / no insurance" card.

And we all know the union officials and our
Business agents are on the take and are
Not on our side. F them.

We,the r&f. Vote No on all their scams.
Our jobs continue.
Noone loses insurance.
Good try,chicken little.

"The wicked flee when none pursueth"

Precisely. That's what brother's and sister's do. Show compassion and empathy towards one another. Help each other.
As well as using their intelligence.

He stayed at a Holiday Inn Express! I too often wondered how these guys know how the older "brave men" before us would vote in these different times.
