How can they layoff and then force others to work overtime. We're laying off guys who were working 50 hours a week. How can the work get done. The union must have language on this.
The way they do layoffs is total BS. YRC has said we will only work you two days a week to cut your bennies. About half the senior guys see this as an all you can eat overtime buffet. Sixth and seventh punches called in before layoff guys. They know they're screwing junior men, most with small children that need full health coverage. It turns my stomach to come in and see all those bastards working all that overtime when guys can't even get three punches for insurance. Most of these "brothers" start calling for layoffs this time of year because the ot starts to go away and they can't pay for their lifestyle anymore. So slash a brothers throat so you can drive that fancy car. Pathetic!!!
Here at 309 they just laid off 10 dockmen effective Sunday November 17th

Just saved them 2 holidays per man.
Im not layed off but offered to give up time 'no pay' and the boss didn't even respond to my statement. I don't think they want us to work 3 days 12 hours and take thurs and fri off no pay because it actually creates another f/t job. They want you to work 5 12's. My question is how much o/t can be forced. How can they cry no help when guys are sitting home ? Why not work everybody 8 hours a day or make a 4 10 bid and have the help available if someone goes on vaca or gets a hangnail....I mean injury.
When you figure benefits into this, it is cheaper to pay OT than another body
When they can not get the 10 % board or layoff people to work when they want them to then they have no choice but to bring back a few. Tis the Yellow way......... .
