So what is the monetary increase with their deal?
Doesnt seem that great.
Just wish reality would strike some of you.
And the reality is that if we were all in the game it would be a much better trade for us, the labor.
If ABF, New Penn, Reddaway, Holland, UPSfreight, YRC,......
...AND CONWAY AND FEDEX were all in the game together, common sense would tell you that would be best.......
any weakness in the union occured by deregulation.
Now may be the only time to make it better.
Division caused all the nonsense instability we all deal with.
One of our guys used to work at 4-5 companies part time when he started. All the same rate. It didnt matter where the freight was. They all contribute to Teamster healthcare and as long as he worked enough hours in the quarter he never lost it.
They also all made pension contributions. They differed but pay was same and healthcare.
Thats what we should want.
We get same wherever we go and let the bosses " compete" for less pay for more work.
Wise up.
The freight is heavy and their short drivers.
