Shoeman, he probably has the RFID Chip implant put in him. A No vote turns his chip off. No access of getting food and having a life of freedom, IMO.

First...Scooter....I said in the first part of my post I was voting yes. That means I will get a ballot. Whatever you do with your ballot is between you, your family and your conscience. It is one person/one vote. You have attacked me personally I won't respond or resort to such a low life tactic. This is an open forum and you are entitled to your opinion...I am still voting yes. Second, I don't give a damn about a company I have never worked for. (Fed Ex). I am referencing them because of news articles that have been published recently regarding the merger to two segments, and because one of our laid off drivers is experiencing what I described....All the data in my post can be checked for accuracy and truthfulness if you do the research.
One person/one vote....I am voting yes...for myself and for the retirees, and soon to be retirees, for my coworkers who need a job and insurance for their families. This is no guarantee we will even survive the year....I don't like it either, the options are worse. The entire freight division will collapse, including ABF.

I doubt you are voting yes Mister two post. Last I checked, you had to actually be a Teamst to get a ballot. Management just blows steam on Truckingboards instead of doing the job they are getting paid to do. At least the drivers do it on their own time. You seem to care an awful lot about Fed-ex. Who th heck cares about them. By the way, I knew before it, but the dead give-away was when you said...."YOU" have one vote"! Worried about finding a job there Scooter? I'm not. I could have one the next day. Management coming from YRC? Good luck Good Buddy! I vote NO and if they shut the doors I will suck 2 years of unemployment and work for cash with the Mexicans.
First off, it would be nice if YRC could honor the contract from the first time around. See this will happen every time for now on. When it comes to honoring what people vote previously on the last contract, they want everyone to vote on the next of kin. Therefore YRC will never honor another contract for as long as the company exists. Draw the line.

Master Freight Agreement
January 15, 1964 became a monumental day in Teamsters history when the first National Master Freight Agreement was signed in Chicago. This contract would provide solid, standardized protection and benefits to more than 450, 000 over-the-road and local cartage drivers across the country.
The contract, which was described as an impossible task by critics and friends of labor alike, was a milestone for labor unions everywhere. James R. Hoffa, architect, chief negotiator, and overall firestorm of energy behind the agreement, considered this the crowning achievement of his tenure with the Teamsters.
A Dream Becomes Reality
The NMFA of 1964 brought more workers into the middleclass than any other single event in labor history. Hoffa was determined to improve the standard of living for workers, and increase respect for "non-craft" laborers such as over-the-road drivers.
The agreement was the first step in a larger dream to nationalize union contracts. And it revolutionized the way in which goods of all types were moved across the country.
Over-the road and cartage drivers -- empowered through economic gains, stability, and a strong Teamsters Union -- became a force in America's political landscape. Political leaders began to realize the concerns and interests of this group must be recognized, as they could easily mobilize into a formidable voting block as never before imagined.
Path for the Future
Hoffa believed the only way for workers to maintain standards they had achieved, and for unions to survive would be through master contracts throughout all the trade divisions of the Teamsters.
Just as employers are organized on national level, so must labor consolidate its power -- and this was the breakthrough in the NMFA of 1964. The agreement gave the Teamsters power equal and even beyond that of the big trucking companies.
In the changing world of economics and trade, this blueprint remains the course all unions must take in order to ensure their hard earned legacy is not diminished in the future.
You forget hoffa stole 80 billion in teamsters pension funds. Left teamsters with little or no pension. He was a crook,a thief,and a convicted felon. He is no role model. He is why the teamsters are the way they are today
WTF are you talking about! By the way, Mustangs suck!
I agree, I've been trying to tell that to pilot108 for a while now. I guess the he can't understand why my 2010 SS Camaro always leaves him in the dust.

I am voting YES for me................ There. I want this job and my 4 weeks vacation that goes to 3 and my $20/hr, $30/hr on over time and the 10% of my pay they will still be contributing to my pension. I will not get that ANYWHERE else.
There is hardly anything to liquidate! Bunch of worn out trucks & trailers. The company has been selling of assets since they bought Roadway & USF. Zollars got big kickbacks for selling terminals to real estate investment firms for pennies on the dollar & leased them back for big money. Watched thousands of trailers sold on coparts.com for 500 bucks or less after garage spent 1000 bucks or more to get them ready to sell & now we don't have enough big trailers to operate.
If you read history on other union companies that have went out of business, they are following the play book to a T that others have done.
They set up their non-union companies & we paid for it, now we get the reward.
Here in Chicago lots of people have left, (it's called leave of absence), that won't be back. Working for other carriers.
As far as the conference call, I can "say" the company is making lots of money. Does not mean it's true but I can say it. If I'm trying to make you think or vote a certain way I can tell whatever I want - don't make it true but I can say it.
Funny how selling YRC logistics & keeping all the same upper management & keeping it in the same offices as YRC just got done before this was brought out.
NO WAY NO HOW

If the wife has the family pets tagged with an RFID Chip. Anyone can bet that the Yes voters will be tagged also, if not already. The wife and YRC has a right to know where their lost dog is at.
