I am hearing holland has some road bids into 03 from cinncinati and indianapolis. Did the teamsters have to agree to this? Why isn't the loads run into 16 and let our guys turn camp hill? If anyone has any experience filing a grievance on overlapping road work like they are doing please respond here. I am the steward in pittsburgh and will be looking into this.
In defense of the New Penn steward, he is looking out for his men, at a time where many are layed off and haven't worked for some time. It is a slow terminal to begin with, so he just wants some work for his men.
What a true brother you are. 400 Holland men are gone in the Northeast and all we got was to run OUR freight into your major break bulks at certain specific locations. What part of this change do you not understand. We are feeding you guys more freight than ever before, which translates into MORE work for the green machine men and you want more. You are definitely no Brother in my book, I hope some day you suffer the same fate as us Holland Men.
I think you'll find many of us are grateful for the extra work, yet dismayed that the reason we have that work is due to the loss of more good paying Teamster jobs. No one wanted to see this happen.
Let's work together on this, keep the customers we have between us and secure that work with good service. We can't let the other companies work their way into those customers.
All my best to the Holland men, hopefully many can get work at New Penn or YRC and that the economy returns so we can all prosper and provide for our families.
