Only my opinion, based on my Indy YRC, that I quit at the merger. They l(City/dock)aid off all the young, kept only 180 out of 400. Anyone with a CDL left, never to return. That's the young talent YRC newds to survive and grow. Gone.

I don’t know why exactly working people vote against their own best interests, but I do know they sure bitch and moan, and scratch their heads when they can’t get a raise when their skills are in demand and the economy is booming.
Without a doubt there are people killing it in this economy, too bad we little chance of sharing in that wealth.

Train, I don’t want to call you out because you seem to be an intelligent,respectful person.
But you absolutely said it was right on your board.
It’s not right and it can’t happen at a union line.
No they don’t and I the union job I work has only had 1 layoff in the last 15 years.Most nons just work everyone 4 days per week to adjust to slowdowns.
You never told us your annual deductibles that go along with the $2600.00 per year you pay for your insurance.

Seniority is not special treatment it’s time earned. Disciplinary process should handle other issues not be used against him in a layoff.

Don’t want to be argumentative, the deductible is 3k per person, which as you point out is not like the plan you have. The industry needs a strong and healthy YRCW. You guys deserve better. Why doesn’t manage talk to the rank and file? Our company gave a $1,000 trump bump in March and a.90 cent an hour increase in May. That is what most non union companies gave this year.
They talk to us. They just don’t listen to us.
I’m not trying to be argumentative either and I sincerely mean that.
Just pointing out that when we do the real math the disparity in pay lessens.
$2600.00 for the insurance and $3000.00 deductible per family member evens up the playing field considerably.
and the truth..I guessing you work at Fedex,which I consider the best LTL in the business.

Very well saidThe teamsters union hasn’t failed their members, certain people in positions of leadership have been disappointing but I wouldn’t say they failed their members. The pension funds are in trouble but there’s plenty of blame to go around on that. I work over 8 hours I get time and a half not after 40 hours or 60 hours.
My wife or children need medical care it’s covered with a small out of pocket cost, Dental covered,glasses or contacts covered. I get hurt on the job my salary is protected, my families healthcare still covered while I’m hurt, I come back from my injury my position is protected and my seniority is in tact and nogames from management because I got hurt. Union rules ensure some supervisor can’t go around me to work his buddy before me and he can’t make deals on overtime union rules dictate that every man is treated equal and paid equal. Some TM, dispatcher or supervisor has his period that’s his problem not mine and I don’t have to worry about tip toeing around him. Equipment doesn’t meet MY safety standards I don’t use it till it’s fixed and
They can’t make me. I’m tired I’m done for the day not forced to go on the dock or make one more pick up.
Non union guys like to knock the Union but fail to realize if us Union men weren’t here, You non union guys would have no healthcare, no 401k and your salary would be about half of what is. The industry would :::: all over the labor everywhere.
When we say “The Union” I AM THE UNION along with all my union brothers and we have some issues but many of us wouldn’t trade it given the opportunity.

No leadership @ the IBT. 10 years running YRC employees vote to cut their own financial throat. ABF just voted for the a less than they had in the previous contract. All union companies allow non-union carriers to haul their freight. Rank & file & IBT Officials complain. But do nothing to prevent the freight being loaded on a scab carrier. Union Pension Fund goes broke. And all the rank & file voted for this. No one else had a say. CS finally goes broke. All of the above breaks the back of organized LTL Labor. Game over. von.
