Yellow | Merging
- Thread starter Cols Travelers
- Start date
it's probable that holland and new penn will be spun off and sold....and yes, yrc will survive this integration, but alot of us WON'T......
That would be the best thing for usf and new penn so in the spirit of yrc that most likely won't happen but we can hope they would set us free once again.
OH! I know they can merge ROADWAY and YELLOW and shutdown USF , NEW PENN and you guys will have plenty of freight.
WAIT A MINUTE I'M USF!!
Gosh!!! Get ahold of youself man!! Your acting like a ball baby!

The company's expectations regarding its operating income improvement due to the integration of Yellow Transportation and Roadway and the timing of achieving that improvement could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements based on a number of factors, including (among others) the factors identified in the immediately preceding paragraph, the ability to identify and implement cost reductions in the time frame needed to achieve these expectations, the success of the company's operating plans, the need to spend additional capital to implement cost reduction opportunities, including (without limitation) to terminate, amend or renegotiate prior contractual commitments, the accuracy of the company's estimates of its spending requirements, the occurrence of any unanticipated acquisition opportunities, changes in the company's strategic direction and the need to replace any unanticipated losses in capital assets
Does this mean another nmfa?

Another "NMFA"??? It seems to me that their is now only Yellow/Roadway and ABF. The name National Master Freight Agreement is starting to lose it's meaning. I just hope and pray that the IBT would start to think real hard on all this. Get their heads out of the sand.

My two cents worth on this merger announcement. If you look at history in this type of situation they have went both ways on the question of dove tail versus end tail for example ABF/NAVAJO end tail ABF/CAROLINA dove tail both done under the same language in the NMFA. The change committee decides what happens with seniority after they hear from all sides and locals. Point is we have no guarantee on how it will go hope your local those right thing and argues dove tail. Our Pres. and agent have told us they would and will argue dove tail. I personally was glad to hear that. Bottom line is you all best hope that you have some one that knows what they are doing when they finally have the coo to put these together. In our local we have an advantage as both Virtue & Ramos dealt with the ABF/CAROLINA merger so they have the experience to handle this very important task. Good luck to all of us.

Not to add fuel to the fire but here over in portland oregon, we have had layoffs for two consecutive years in a row. Last year there we're senior men without cdls that were laid off before jr men with cdls. when this merger takes place, is this going to be implemented nationally?

toby.
the endtail/dovetail language changed with the ratificatioin of the '94 contract.
the reason there was that huge stink between carolina and abf was nobody on the local levels had the new language unless they saved the ballot fliers (abf bought carolina right after the strike and didn't realize the language had changed themselves so when they endtailed the carolina guys OOPS).
right now until the new books come out, the only valid copy of the contract is the old book and the ballot fliers combined.
if you aint got that you aint up to date.
read articles 3, 5, and 8 and study them hard cuz the guy who is informed aint scared of the breakroom b/s that will be filling breakrooms for the next 16 months

I am not kidding. I am saying what you are saying. The end is in view. If they don't get their heads out of the sand or anus orafice real soon, they will lose their jobs as well. Trucking maybe the largest part of expenditures per member for the IBT, (for those that do not know that) but if they don't get it in gear they will not have us or the die hard Teamster. All they will have is all those other members that do not participate or get involved at all (sheep Teamsters). That will usher in the end of the Teamsters like it did the I.C.M.of A.

Most B.A.'s are pulling down 6 figures and double pensions in excess of 6k a month when they go.....I dont think they really care, their money is set. Union leaders are another story...mid 6 figure salerys for a few years would set me up pretty nice, plus that double pension thing again. Go Teamsters
we all knew it....
We all knew it was going to happen.... it was a matter of time...We all heard the news yesterday and everyone is saying this and that.....but if you think about it..... there isnt really anything we can do.....but wait and see...if your with yellow(which I am) you want to see a endtail but if your with roadway you want to see a dovetail.... in this world of today, it would be nice to see all of us just keep working and finish are time.....there isnt many union companies left so we can finish are time if something happens.....god bless!

After reading all this, I'm thinking I need to wipe my *** better, cause something stinks.
How do you define a "Union Leader" and a "B.A."??? Do you have any salaries to match with these people? Just thinking here. My B.A.'s do not make that kind of money. Hope to hear from you soon!Most B.A.'s are pulling down 6 figures and double pensions in excess of 6k a month when they go.....I dont think they really care, their money is set.

Very true. This should not be a surprise to anyone. We can only hope we are positioned well enough to keep our job and survive the transition.
Naw; I'm at the bottom of Yellow-- I can't even fathom a scenario of end-tailing. It's gotta be dovetail. Gotta be. Don't even know how this one ever started....
This is how it will and should be handled (sorry)

I think this standard statement that is at the end of all their press releases pertains to capital contracts not the NMFA. I could be wrong and as far as being surprised about the merger the only thing that suprises me is that it didn't occur sooner.
