guess they ignored the guys from western states saying they are even refusing drs notes and giving letter .sure hope your locals back you after you saved there full double pensions
we never did get an answer from the west coast guys if these letter ever drop from your record of if the drop after 9 months like on the east coast or just stay there and keep adding up . guess you will all find out if you catch a cold this year then next year you get the flu you will be gone hmmm
Falconfan,
I don't have a dog in this fight, left already (sick and tired of working with a bunch of card carrying *****) but, just out of curiosity, how in the **** do you think you got the benefits and wages you have been so willing to give up?

I have sought union work all of my life and am as pro labor as any union member .my father in Illinois was in union 36 years.I volunteered on the overnite campaign and have always stood by my union as they have me.two of the union cpompanies shut down (without a vote) this isnt about fighting for something we could benefit from this is about keeping what we have.They will close the doors if this doesnt get ratified and you tell me how that helps the cause for those before us.
There are no gaurantees this company won't fail the week afterr a yes vote. Why blame Teamsters for putting other Teamsters in a vulnerable position? If we do that the the companies plan is succeeding to say tthe least. Guilt trip them into a yes vote @ Terminally ill Teamsters......or......Fear Factor them into yes vote by to old to find job, other companies won't hire former Teamsters.
The best one by far is the U will never find Insurance U pay $00.00$ for-----> @ %15 concessions + Reduced Pension to basically nothing <-----I would say we pay a HUGE PRICE for that * Free Insurance * !!!! .....Look I sympathize with the Teamsters who are sick or finacially strapped or just plain stressed out about the situation........I can speak on this post @ Selfish Union Brothers because---> I have a Chronic Medical Condition & I still voted NO! so to each his/her own and Respect That!!! Everyone has a VOTE!!!!! Just Excercise your right and allow EVERYONE ELSE the same Courtesy !!!
You say the pro labor vote was a no vote.I guess 68% aren't pro labor and my ass I sided with the company.Your vote was going to close the company down just ask union officials ranked high and low all across the country but I guess they aren't pro labor enough for you.Nobody likes this bs but no job is worse bs I am just glad I wont be seeing your pro labor self in the unemployment lineYou must not be the Mr. Pro Labor you think you are. I have seen many post's from you blasting people about how a NO vote is going to kill this company. These are your union brothers, like them or not they are entitled to their opinions just like you. You talk about being pro labor, the pro labor vote is a NO. When corporate made these bad decisions labor had nothing to do with it. These foolish, ego driven decisions that they want us to pay for again and again. As I watched my retirement being snatched away from under my feet from a corporation that cares nothing about it's employees, and your siding with them. Ya, that's pro labor. I've been with this company for 24 years. Busted my ass for most of them, yet this is how they reward me "we screwed up, but give me more of your money, plus your retirement".
Save your Pro Labor rant for someone else. The people fighting to keep what we have are pro labor, your just another enabler to corporate greed.

Falcon how dare you use reason and logic on this site, we will not tolerate the kind of commonsense you are constantly putting forth,
I found a statement I can agree with,amazing.With only a small group of people posting over and over again,and trying to guess how many are retired,and people who work other places and management trying to push their own agenda,it is easy to feel that all the thoughts forwarded here on the truckingboards site are representative of all the unionized workforce at YRC,when I have to believe they are not.
First of all half of the things you say i said came from other posts you say nothing against the no voters point of view but when a yes voter posts he is some how taking away your rights this will be my last response to such bias you sound like a politition
Did you ever think that these people were once employed by yrc? Or that every time you give something up it has a affect on the whole industry, but as long as you still have a job its all good....Yes its amazing how many fedex and abf people are on here fanning the flames of discontent,
