Yeah, I feel like they won't find anyone willing to work for money they can get for literally doing nothing.
 
And as the article states, the ATA vigorously fought the decision. As usual, the ATA sides with the company, and says **** on the driver who is using up on duty time while still in the service of the carrier, and doing it unpaid...
As always, “follow the money”. I’ll be shocked if ata isn’t handsomely rewarded for a pro company stance

"Their cash flow statement shows that share repurchases and dividends have been funded by debt.

Debt has more than tripled in the past five years to a recent $15.2 billion"

Interesting read. Not agreeing 100% with the author's spin on what the debt is being used for, but interesting none the less.
 
SuperTech Competition adds new track, demos cyber security

"This year, techs were tested on their knowledge of exhaust aftertreatment systems on the written exam. “We opened it up in the light- medium-duty in a hands-on station. We will move into a hands-on in a heavy-duty test as well,” Arrants said.

This is the second year TMC has had a demo cybersecurity station. Keeping data secure is increasing in importance, particularly with the development of blockchain. Jack Legler, technical director for TMC, said any time information is traveling through the J1939 data bus, there is potential for it to be hacked."
 
Teamsters Ratify Five-Year Contract With UPS
But Fate of Freight Handlers Deal Appears Uncertain

https://www.ttnews.com/articles/teamsters-ratify-five-year-contract-ups

"The Teamsters UPS National Negotiating Committee has asked the company to return to the bargaining table to address a number of outstanding issues in the master agreement.

While the majority of union members who voted were opposed to the agreement — the final tally favored rejection 50,248 to 42,356 — a clause in the union’s constitution stated that a two-thirds majority is required to reject a final offer. Only 44.3% of those eligible to vote participated, with 54.2% voting in opposition.

(:scratchhead:)

Meanwhile, the fate of a five-year tentative contract agreement representing 11,600 UPS freight workers was rejected by union leadership by a 4,255 to 2,601 vote. The Teamsters said they plan to ask UPS to terminate the current contract extension and will request another round of negotiations."

Los Angeles, Ca (AP) TMZ releases newly discovered video of Scott Disick along with Big Dave, Kavanaugh, Ye (aka Kanye), and Wong after news breaks that Disick can’t keep his camera to himself!! It was reported earlier that Big Dave and the gang allegedly went whip Disick into shape over his actions but after Kavanaugh broke out some brewskis, the five of them went back to the 80’s!! After repeated attempts, no one would comment on this issue but Kim and Chloe could be heard complaining about missing flower pots!!??!!

This kind of apathy plagues the ranks of the Teamsters. Those at UPS are some of the most dedicated, and even they had a weak turnout.

What a travesty.

I struggle to comprehend the fact that Only 44.3% of those eligible to vote participated.

3 parties involved. Company, IBT, and rank/file members. Only 2 of the 3 show up to look after their own best interest. WOW... Hard to have any sympathy for the no-shows, especially in this current economic climate. Opportunity missed.
