Not giving us a raise when the company lost money was IMO the right course of action. We got our 5% cut back, we're making more money on less volume, so your poor back doesn't have to work as hard, and we're getting a better bonus than last year. It is what it is, I choose to see the good things that have come our way of late and you choose to see the bad, oh well, I'm not going to let your bad attitude become my problem.

That's right, FOS's do nothing for the 10 hours a day they are at work. Even if their bonus was going to be 8k, we would still make more than they do. You get your pay for every hour you give this company, regardless if you make the company tons of money every day accident free or if you bust up freight and roll a set. If that FOS fails to deliver on whatever minimum standards the company sets for him, he doesn't get the extra money at the end of the year, how would you like to budget your household finances like that? These FOS's haven't had a bonus in three years, by your numbers that means each one of them has lost $24,000. The company through no fault of the FOS's didn't make enough money for them to get a bonus and now, finally after they waited as long as they have all you can do is begrudge them? I think you're a selfish___________

We dont care what you think
So..................
This is not true. The company paused the 401k match back in 2009 when we got our paycuts,vacation heist, etc etc. It is susposed to be played again when we meet certain operational goals and I have not heard anything to the contrary in that regard.
I will ask my SCM on Monday just to make sure nothing has changed.

401 gone forever keep your head up there are big bonuses on the line for the uppers.They took, it we let them now live with it.no guts no glory so live with no glory nowhereinparticular tried to tell you that. live with it now.
Well you can see the good, that's fine but you think it's ok for the CEO on down to get huge bonuses but not give back what they took from us? I agree doing what they needed during a down time was fine but if they want money then they should give back to those who have worked just as hard for them and have for years, in my case 16 years. They are stealing my retirement.

He insists he has not given up. And many of the pro union guys claim there is still a " big " following out there. Can't blame him for trying. But you knew it was impossible or close to get this done. Even if it does work out, it will take time. Things are changing to fast now. Politically and economically. They are moving to slowly. This effort has no chance.

Everyone complains about the match being gone but we still get 3% of our pay added to our 401k whether we contribute or not. Does any other carrier give more than 3%? The Industry average is 1.5%-2%. So I'd say our 3%-8% depending on years of service and transition is pretty darn good. I'd rather get 3% no matter what that match up to 1/2 of 6%.

Dont you think they complain because the pension was eliminated and the 401k was the "cats meow" in their opinion. I remember seeing my estimate at 2 million or so. what a joke.
I would rather get the 3% no matter what AND the 1/2 of 6% which equals another 3%. Thats 6% plus the 6% I put in which equals 12% percent a week. If I make $1200 a week, that 3% of 401k match, which we have not received for going on 4 years, equals $36 a week, $1872 a year, and assuming I put another 30 years with this outfit, $56,160 total. $56,160 is HUGE!!!!!! That almost a whole years pay LOST. Think about that.
That total amount LOST since the company stopped matching our contributions "assuming you make $1200 a week" is $5616. Is your glass HALF FULL or is it HALF EMPTY. Personnally, my glass is EMPTY.

Thats the difference between you and me. My glass is half full. I challenge anyone to find another LTL company who gives more to the 401k.
And that s without us giving anything. Conway has good programs, they just don't know how to sell them. To look good. Hell, we still have people thinking they're getting the actual match. But radman is right, mathematicaly we did get a lot more when they had the actual match also. If you had good time in, heck you were making 11 percent. Some people were on their way to million or more at retirement..then economy and Conway knocked that out of the future.. i don't put anything in there, i just get the free money
You must be one of those SUPER positive types. I generally speaking trend towards the positive, I try and keep an open mind and stay grateful for what I have. $5616 is ALOT of money though which redirects my positive attitude.

Sure is alot of money. We still get more than most get. I'd rather get the 3% for free and work everyday than stand in the unemployment line like alot of people have had to do the last few years.

Fact is I haven't seen a bonus since 2008. So you need to get your facts together. I'll also bet my paycheck no FOS sees near 8k in a bonus. Also hours are different for every FOS. Where I'm at we have quite a few and 2 work 10 every day and the rest work 8-10 every day.
You can't compete with that mythical calculator that Slimestones uses..He should go back and sue his highschool math teacher for fraud..
