We live in a world of change .If you have kept up with this sad situation , you know that job cuts have been part of the merger plan from the beginning .Add to that plan the woeful economy ,and the cuts go further than anticipated .
Merger of seniority lists ,from a common sense standpoint, means less duplication of runs and loads ,full trailers and less mt miles .along with less management and support services like office and custodial help .and fewer teamsters.
Only the lean ,with no fat will survive this situation .While I feel that corporate needs to clean house from THE TOP DOWN ,overall YRCW may actually be in a position of strength when the economy turns .
Closed is closed ,laid off means you may have something to come back to.
The COO com. will approve just about anything to keep us afloat , could include the Glen Moore / meet turn scenario .But Gordon Sweeto ,IBT VP not worth a f!*#*k ,didn't even know Glen Moore was using the 34 hour rule to take our KC sleeper freight .
If you understand banks and credit , I believe them when they told us there is no cash to operate the Co. after 1/1.
I am voting yes for the first time in 24 years .I have 375 drivers behind me on the list . I have looked for other jobs these past 3 weeks , nothing comes close to what I'll get at 90% at YRCW .
Vote no if you want , vote yes if you want . but VOTE .And hopefully that will carry over to the next election.Corporate America is doing what it does , and the IBT gave us this situation .Hoffa sucks

Again (I sound like a broken record here, but the answer is still the same one); You are talking Before Deregulation (Hoffa Sr); They couldn't close if they wanted to......there were more union jobs on every street corner.
LOL Ya your right..Wish we could get the Union Jobs back! My Dad was off work in 1981 for 3 years. Before he took non-union job. No medical. Sad thing is history is about to repeat itself. Gorden told us just like Zollars, one more thing goes wrong in the economy, YRCW will still go under! WTF?
LOL i did read it, if they file bankruptcy reverting back doesnt mean crap! We loose everything. Thats a mute point!
Actually I wasn't talking about the mob. Although you are right, that is one thing different.
Seriously everyone keep your ears peeled, The person that revealed the COO is usually been 80% correct. That was the goal of this post. Hate to see YRCW merge us then cut all boards in half. At my barn thats guys with 8-9 years seniority and down or so. if my math is correct.
I agree with Closed is closed. If we vote yes and they lay off %50, at least we have a chance that the economy turns and the company didn't lie, (I still can't tell about that) and we bring back laid off drivers/dockworkers. If we lose half the drivers at PME, I'm right on that line. I'll vote yes and risk my job in hopes of keeping the door open for a recall.
lol , really, Ottumwa Ia is down to two yellow employees, they are filling the roles of billing clerks, drivers, hostlers, and dock workers in one! Since back this summer! loosing customers. In July I took Express Freight, They said, we will deliver it in 4-5 days! Where swamped! That doesnt sound like a company that wants to survive! I still think where going down!

this is true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one day after the company gets the no vote they wanted. they will reopen non union. this is fact LOL
you guys must not get around much because the word around the terminals is YYYYEEEEESSSSSS.
i'm voting no cause the powers that be want more power and control and if you give in you should get out cause you're hurting the rest of us trying to make a difference in our lives (so don't sell yourself out cause they already did that for you), don't believe this bad economy hype, the government wanted it this way for their BIG PLAN to make everybody their financial slave and they are doing it by means of working endlessly for the almighty dollar that seems there needs to be an endless need for, the small people like us SHOULD have had big checks mailed to us this past year to stimulate the economy so companies like this don't experience layoffs but the banks have it sitting in their vault and they ain't even gonna lend it out till things make a turnaround but how is that going to happen when nobody has money to spend cause banks ain't loaning out money and nobody is making money cause the company needs people to spend money on the products they sell and if they ain't got money to come in the shop will close it's doors, thank the world government that makes up all these idiotic ideas to ruin the little mans world, 7.7 trillion lent out so for for american progress, where has american progress taken us.......a bad bad road to the worst deception that we will ever experience and time and money will not be in your favor cause the powers that be want it that way cause they own you and can do whatever they want to you.........think about it 7.7 trillion divided by usa population (300 million) every american gets about 25,667 dollars to spend to stimulate the economy, if the government bailed out main st instead of wall st with ALL that money what shape do you think the economy will be in now with all that $$spending$$ that could've been happening right NOW, these bailouts were predicted years ago and it's finally come knocking on our door
At Yellow/Indy (City) , guys with right at 10 years are on layoff now (I've got 9 1/2-- 14 men above me are gone). I had figured, after the merger, it might take 15 years to keep a job. If they really DO cut half of the total, it might be closer to 20 years seniority to keep a job......

Hey yrcdkcm i did hear about a BIG CHANGE in MARCH.. About 50% im hearing.......It's not good! vote NO there trying to pull one over our eye's again.......!! Going to be guy's transfering again......EAST COAST.....
go ahead, and in a few years you'll probably vote yes to paying your health care, yes to paying into your pension more, yes to whatever they want you to vote yes for, yrc is just a maggot when it comes to the rest of the world cause there are billions of people in this world living under the same rules, get off your yrc high chair and get back down to earth and realize the government pushed the wrong buttons to make the end result a disaster for mankind
