Actually the new proposal starts red Circle driver at anyone hired before April 1st 2018. 2013 is crossed out on the actual print.Very good description of what "red circle" means to ABF. If the ABF Teamsters take the time to engage and inform. Rather than belittling, badgering and insulting. You should be able to vote down the current proposal.
1) All active road drivers as of the date of ratification of the ABF NMFA commencing in 2013 2018 will be protected by red circle name from layoff directly caused by the use of purchased transportation per the attached seniority lists as of the date of ratification. For the remainder of the agreement, red circle protection will be extended by name on a one (1) for two (2) basis for road drivers hired after the date of ratification to replace red circle drivers that retire, quit, or are terminated. This protection does not apply to a road driver who has been offered but declined a transfer pursuant to any Change of Operations.
Ps. Oops, it says date of ratification. Didn’t read it so well myself.
