I am for the union. Been working for 15 yrs in customer service. It wasn't teamsters fault we are in this mess. Management needs to find another way to come up with the money. We gave & sacrificed millions. What did they do with the money? You can't stay in your house if you don't pay your mortgage. They slashed pension, no raises, took a week of vacation, when you work this long and get little, and then come back and ask for more, it is a slap in the face! Management got bonuses plus make much more than hourly employees. Board of Dir get paid good money, Management that leaves get their golden parachutes .Management is still top heavy. They have not sacrificed like others. Why not?
Even with a yes vote no guarantee things are going to turn around. It's a hard decision, families involved,but unfair to ask for more or extend this thing. Why wait this long to get another concession or extension knowing they need an answer by Nov 15th? What is there to hide by prolonging the 3rd quarter report? I understand some of the frustration. Customers complain about loss, damaged or late freight. If we don't have the tractors, drivers and manpower to move the freight it is not the teamsters fault. If the company can't attract people to come work for Yrc, management needs to take a look at themselves. Unfortunately we are on the ship.
