Here's just a little taste of what I found when it comes to understanding our CEO's modus operandi. And all my research has led me to believe that Judy is a malicious and immoral woman.
And for one to have a clear understanding of just how immoral I believe that to be... we have to go back to 1988 and take a good look at that 1988 Profit Sharing & Stock Ownership Plan that Mr. Young came up with when the company was really in financial hardship. I still have a copy of that whole proposal but it's too long to post here.
If one takes the time to read that proposal... they will find out that Mr. Young... not only offered the employees stock ownership if the 10% wage reduction plan was accepted... he also turned down his wage increase that the board of directors approved and was willing to take an additional 10% pay cut right along with the employees...
That's what I call ethical which is why I believe many ABF Teamsters trusted and respected the man. He really was a freight man and believed in ABF and it's employees.
Now... let's take a good look at Judy...
She first tries to hit us with that 15% wage reduction in 2010 knowing full well that she would be receiving a $75,000 RAISE in just her salary a short few months later. That's right... she came down to Dallas... looked us straight in the eye and tried to get the $50,000 a year employees to accept a 15% wage cut while she would be getting a hefty $75,000 year raise... just the raise being one and a half times more than the average employee's annual salary. Now...I call that immoral.
She didn't offer no Stock Ownership Plan and she sure as hell didn't refuse that $75,000 raise... let alone take that 15% salary reduction that she was asking of her employees. But yet... had the audacity to spout off about equal sacrifice every chance she got. I also call that immoral.
Then comes 2013... since that flat out 15% wage reduction didn't work... she decides to change it up a little... a 7% wage reduction along with many other labor reduction costs to offset the difference. Again... no Stock Ownership Plan but spouting off about equal sacrifice every chance she got. That passes to the amazement of many ABF Teamsters. Fast forward to the present and as anyone can see by the charts below... that equal sacrifice clause that was listed in the contract was nothing but BS as far as Judy was concerned...
