I think he was working on three scheduled contracts at the time(UPS/ABF/T-Force). Your saying he was supposed drop everything he was doing to come save a company that for the last 15 years has shown any initiative to fix their own problem.

His reply will be along the lines of they can handle that, like they have freight contract negotiators sitting around doing nothing....kind of like how the carriers have a bunch of extra guys sitting around when a bunch of customers call in pickups at the same time....lol

YRC was a big part of pension crisis
So was CF, Branch, Cooper-Jarrett, PIE, Maislin, St. Johnsbury, Mason-Dixon, etc., etc., etc.
PS - Think how much bigger a part they would have been if they shut down in 2009.

Wrong!!! Absolutely positively wrong. CSPF was in deep trouble long before YRC's default in 2009. They didn't help matters at that time, but to say that they were a big part, nope!
To many on here global warming is Yellow's fault, the Russia-Ukraine war is Yellow's fault, the Gaza war is Yellow's fault, and some probably even think their hemorrhoids are Yellow's fault. Then again maybe that last one is true!

As for that last one, it's a distinct possibility!To many on here global warming is Yellow's fault, the Russia-Ukraine war is Yellow's fault, the Gaza war is Yellow's fault, and some probably even think their hemorrhoids are Yellow's fault. Then again maybe that last one is true!
That last one is definitely trueTo many on here global warming is Yellow's fault, the Russia-Ukraine war is Yellow's fault, the Gaza war is Yellow's fault, and some probably even think their hemorrhoids are Yellow's fault. Then again maybe that last one is true!
No true.

Not paying the full Pension rate, Guess what It's a problem! Not paying going rate for wages Guess what It's a Problem. If you worked at YRC and voted for these reductions, don't rant on TB...Look in the mirror and yell at who's responsible.

Wow, I had no idea that SOB was the only negotiator in that huge building on Louisiana Avenue. I thought there were 22 VPs, each with a large staff. Nobody ever asked him to save Yellow. His job is to protect the 22,000 dues paying members.

No where! No where does it say the union must get "input from the members". SOB wanted input. What better way than a vote of some kind?
If you insist on proper procedure, then a COO hearing should have been scheduled. Evidence of the alleged contract language violation would then have been on the record and part of the decision making process. None of that was done.

Yellow paid the full pension rate.
Yellow paid the full wage rate.
It's all right there in the collective bargaining agreement negotiated by the union and ratified by the members. Anyone who felt under compensated was free to sell their services elsewhere.
They told Yellow in March it violated the contract....where was Yellows proposal between then and July? Yellow had April, May, and June to give a new proposal... they did not

They being the Teamsters, sorry, thought that was obvious....the article says they (Yellow) had a meeting at Teamster offices, what do you need a formal hearing for when the Teamsters told Yellow that the change violated the contract and the hearing was cancelled...to have a "formal hearing" would be a waste of time...seems to me they (Yellow) would have submitted one that wasn't a violation of the contract....they had several months...

United States v. Local 560 (Ibt), 694 F. Supp. 1158 (D.N.J. 1988) case opinion from the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jerseylaw.justia.com
I will cut & paste it for you
7. New England Motor Freight Sweetheart Arrangements
The government charges that throughout the period between late 1975 and mid-1986 Myron Shevell, on behalf of NEMF, cultivated a corrupt relationship with certain officials of Local 560 including Anthony Provenzano, Stephen Andretta, Henry Slyboom, Daniel Rubino and Peter Granello as a result of which NEMF obtained sweetheart benefits from Local 560 throughout the years in question and was eventually able to deunionize its operations altogether. The government claims that Ianniello and Stephen Andretta conspired with Shevell to interfere with the affairs of Local 560 by causing Sciarra to sabotage grievance actions against NEMF which ran counter to the interests of NEMF and jeopardized its *1169 sweetheart status. One result of this intervention, according to the government, was Sciarra's January 31, 1985 offer to NEMF of a collective bargaining agreement which in effect would have removed the entire NEMF workforce other than three warehousemen from Local 560 jurisdiction. NEMF did not accept this offer. On February 20, 1985 Local 560 business agent Daniel Rubino testified before the Joint Local Committee with respect to the NEMF grievance. In doing so, the government alleges, he contradicted his prior sworn statements concerning the nature and extent of past practices of NEMF. The testimony undermined the union's position, and three months later the Teamsters grievance committee deadlocked, ending the union's attempt to end NEMF's anti-Local 560 practices. The government charges that Sciarra never acted in the face of Rubino's past sweetheart deals with NEMF or in the face of his change of position before the grievance committee.

YRC shut down in 2023 and it didn't seem to be a huge problem. So, it probably wouldn't have been a huge problem in 2009. Maybe if they had shut down in 2009 the employees would have all had jobs by now.
I would hope they would have jobs by now.... 14 years later...
