As I see it...
YRC, New Penn, Holland, and any others are freight companies.
These companies run independent of the others.
The generate money that is used to pay for their companies expenses.
After all is said and done the money that is left over goes to YRCW.
YRCW sets the limits on expenses and such.
YRCW is a holding company that recieves its funding from its freight companies.
The more the subsidiaries make after expenses the more YRCW has to use as it chooses.
At some time a holding company may pay dividens to its investors..
Investors give a company money so that the company can make more money and ibn turn pay the investors a rate of profit higher than a bank would give...The more profitable the companuy the more people pay to be part of the profit..Stock Value..
A holding company does not care about its subsidiaries beyond the monetary level..
Holding companies sometimes hold many different companies and some are different products.
They think about money and how to get more,and that is it.
The Teamsters is a union organization which is structured similar to a Franchise..
The International sets the rules and expects the franchises (Locals) to figure out how to make money by following or adjusting the rules.
The IBT does things such as lobbying the government and having promotional rallys as part of a marketing plan..to market their product.
Dues money and contributions to pension H&W etc goes to the local franchise which then pays a percentage to the IBT.
The more money the locals get the more money the International gets.
Some IBT officials focus on the national front while others focus on the local front.
This is the way I see it...
YRCW the holding company and The International Brotherhood of Teamsters the head of the franchises are focused on your dues money and how much they can get for their businesses and their personal gain.
So please stop talking about YRCW as if it is a freight company because it is NOT..
The freight companies that belong to YRCW are running with no cash for expenditures,etc.
It will last as long as the IBT and YRCW can get suckers to give them money then it will end.
