Central Transport | Layoffs Coming

[sharpshooter]

They better have plenty of money to fix this place because its still broken....They need a greater sales force and most TM's need replacing. This place can be fixed but it still is in need of a major overhaul. It will take millions more to get it right. A good TM is the biggest key, not some young yuppie still wet behind the ears with a poor work ethic. Someone that's willing to get down in the trenches with his men and get off the computer and stop manipulating numbers. And that is not easy to find. Todays generation is not what it use to be.

This came from a shipper that said Ward and Vitran were one in the same now. When the Ward trailers were full, the rest went on Vitran trailers.

When layoffs start to come and they will this winter be sure your terminal goes by seniority. I'm sure voluntary layoffs will not be enough. The EEOC or Dept. of Labor which ever one would be in charge would gladly help us out if they start to play favorites.

 

[undead]

because we are non union do they have to use seniority our will it be their choice who works

They will do what they want just like always. They know what are you going to do, quit? If that were the case you would have left long time ago.

They open themselves up for a lawsuit by not going by seniority. Especially if they layoff a man in his 60's that has more time in than a man in his 30's.......That's age discrimination my brother.

Most corporate attorneys will advise laying off employees by seniority across all departments. This method for laying off is clearly the most defensible in a court of law. This way no employee can claim that he or she was dismissed for a discriminatory reason.
