I don't get it. Are you talking to me?I am curious as to why no response regarding your terminated brother. This is what is wrong with labor today. Noone sticks together! Its everyone for themselves. And we call this a union?!

No - just mentioning how noone seems to care if a fellow brother loses his job for "creating a hostile work environment" because he got in an argument with a supervisor.I don't get it. Are you talking to me?
What about the driver who was terminated in December for sticking up for his seniority and still hasnt even had a grievance. Like him or not, this could happen to any one of you. The company labor man (Neal) blames the union and the union blames the company. This could set a president at JO and you guys dont realize it. Hope none of you ever have a medical condition. Make sure not to swear just take their crap and be happy or you will be out on the street. Thanks Teamsters! EEOC all the way.
Another guy thats a dockman at the BV terminal, got into a screaming match (with profound language to say the least) with the Yellow Safety man. He was asked to see a movie on safety and said flat out **** no. He was terminated. Local 710 got him his job back in 3 days.
You must drink more than me because I just read another thread this morning where you bashed NorthernFlash for calling out a "slug". I dont get it. You're like Jekyll and Hyde!

Thank you brother Ice. Appreciate your response.
Holland doesn't fire anyone, they fire themselves.
It's hard to put pressure on the B.A./ President when he does not return phone calls to the stewards.That brother ICE is soooooooo cold, brrrrrrrrrr and I'm sure his lips are as cold as his words. :loser:
I heard that it takes an act of congress to get the proverbial boot from Holland.
I suggest that the fired brother make the union work for him, start putting pressure on your steward and BA, after all I'm sure that this brother contributed to the wellbeing of the company by taking a 10% reduction on his wages.
Good Luck:smilie_132:
Can we all just be POSITIVE???

Yes, that was true when it was USF Holland but now that its YRC Holland that old saying isn't true any longer. We've had several people fired for BS reasons in the last 12 months, all of which have got their jobs back I might add.
Hey Kathy--who was the dockman in BV that got fired-rehired?Hopefully L gets his grievance soon---alotta crap going on right now at our local though--President just got escorted out by the International.....I see trusteeship in our future!
Why did the JO brother get terminated for anyway??

The Joliet driver (my husband) did not get his job back. He hasnt even had a grievance yet from Dec 12th. Here is the best part. My husband was fired for causing a "hostile work environment". Did you ever hear such a thing. I am a member of local 710. They are using casuals at Joliet when my husband is still sitting home waiting for his grievance.
