The regional companys should have their own contract with their respective employees. The NMFA is over. ABF has their own deal and thanks to the incompetence of YRCW, we are all separated now during negotiations. ABF's latest contract is concessionary, but I'd take it in a heartbeat compared to what we have now. Despite the give backs, I feel there is still a lot of pride @ Holland, and probably at the other regional carriers as well.. It's just this forced "marriage" we're in. A "one size fits all" contract simply doesnt fit companies like YRC Freight,and the regional carriers. The operations are vastly different, so why do we have the same language and pay?? Wouldn't it be nice to reward the employees (union and non-union) who have put their companies on the road to profitability? The thought of 5 more years of being hand cuffed to this bloated behemoth YRCW is depressing at best. I've enjoyed working at Hollland for the last 14 yrs. After having worked for several now defunct carriers in the past, this is (was) by far the best freight line I've worked for in terms of service and claims, and overall job satisfaction. Lets' get our own deal !!!!!!
