The employees never paid for anything; this isn't paying for anything, nor is it a 'give-back'. It's all about 'this is what the new wage and benes will be- will you work for this amount?' Simple question, really. If you agree, vote yes. If you don't, vote no. Then live with the consequences of whichever way passes. The Teamsters have a contract with a company to do it's work, to not manage it, not to profit or lose from it. Leave the emotion out; figure out if your vote equals keeping your job or losing it, and move on.
Personally (no one asked me, yes, I no longer work there).....I think YRC is done either way......really doesn't matter 'who's fault' it is.....
