As a Christian myself I find it hard to see the actions of the VPs Christ like. I do not judge if they are "Saved". I judge their actions.
Luke 6:37-42 You should be familiar with this...
Also, verses 27-36 are worth rereading.

Mr steeler, The Company would flourish???? And so it is ok for these Big Company hot shots to get their million $ bonuses while we work for next to nothing? The VPs at least are smart enough to build other companies and hide the money that way. But they are making tons of $ and so there is a Union to get the working Men and women a fair and just compansation for their work. It would be nice if the big money makers would see who got them there and pay them for it like the guy that sold his bearing company and split the money with the employees. YOU WILL NEVER SEE THAT FROM DAVE AND ED "NEVER"!!!!!How can this company ever be successful when you have 1 business(The Union) fighting against the other business(The Company). It just does not work in todays environment. Without the company, the union folks do not have jobs. Without the Union, the company would flourish. Folks that work together, stay together. Enough said.
OAK HARBOR ULP STRIKE NOTICEOak Harbor Teamsters Update: In late September 2008, Teamsters Local 174 filed five unfair labor charges against Oak Harbor claiming Oak Harbor unlawfully threatened, intimidated and questioned employees. The Teamsters have withdrawn all but the below three issues. We believe the serious charges the Teamsters filed were proved to be false charges and were therefore withdrawn by the union. We believe the three remaining issues are minor and we took steps on October 9, 2008 to remedy all three issues. On December 31, 2008 the NLRB advised Oak Harbor Freight Lines by phone that it believed the Teamsters had presented sufficient documentation to warrant a hearing regarding the allegation that Oak Harbor violated the NLRA in three distinct situations when: 1 - Oak Harbor agreed with some of its Auburn WA employees, at their request, to have a driver committee to improve communications; 2 - Oak Harbor violated past practice in Auburn WA when it denied employees time off mid-shift on a Sunday to go to a union meeting (which was canceled by the union) and 3 – Oak Harbor violated past practice in Auburn WA when is used a different bidding method for bidding the Utility A bids in 2008. When the NLRB issues a complaint, they ARE NOT saying that Oak Harbor is guilty – it only indicates that a hearing is warranted to get to the truth of the matter. Oak Harbor denies that any one of the remaining issues violated the NLRA and will vigorously defend against the charges. Oak Harbor has 30 Terminals and charges have been made only against the Auburn Terminal. More than 3 months ago (October 9, 2008), Oak Harbor advised the Union that it (Oak Harbor) would: 1 – agree to disband the Auburn driver committee and compensate any person that was harmed as a result of the committee action 2 – agree to rebid the Auburn Utility A List as the union requested and compensate any employee who had been injured as a result of the prior bid 3 – agree to allow Auburn employees to take time off for a union meeting on Sundays as the union requested We believe the Union has now refused to accept the very remedy they originally asked for. Notwithstanding the fact that Oak Harbor has agreed in writing with what we believe are the Union’s original demands in the original filing the Union persists in its strike against Oak Harbor and its demand for additional processing of its charges by the NLRB. Oak Harbor anticipates that the 19th Region of the NLRB will issue a complaint the week of January 5 2009 citing the above three issues in the Auburn Terminal as potentially violating the NLRA and that a hearing will be scheduled. Oak Harbor expects to be fully vindicated at the hearing when that occurs. Oak Harbor continues its effort in Mediation to bargain in good faith with the Teamsters in an attempt to achieve a new labor agreement.

You are soon to learn what it is like to work for nothing aren't you? Not looking good out there is it.

What would happen if we started emailing companies that use OHFL? Go on to a company that ships with OHFL website. Get all the names of companies they ship to and call them. Can it be done?
Dear Mr Tripper How long do you think OHFL can last? You know that in this business as soon as you have any signs of trouble the compatition attacks like a pack of wolves on an injured Elk. The mighty Oak is being systematicly taken apart. First take out the major accounts (done) Then take out the Texas replacement workers (done) Then say good bye to security. (done) Then get the NLRB to rule in the Unions favor (done) Then get the companies $$$ to dry up (done) Then get everybody to take a 10% pay cut. (done) Get well over half of OHFL's trucks to set idle and move no freight. (done) Get California employees laid off (done) Go after Key Bank until the give the boot to OHFL. (Soon to be done) Last but not least watch all the back stabbing:loser: Have no more job. Soon to be (DONE)
Not one item here do you have accurate. Are you employed by the Union? You make stuff up like they do. You are pretty much going to look mighty stupid when all said and done.
Oak Harbor Customer Update
Service
We have made it through the snow of December and the flooding of January and are back to full service as of Monday 1/12/09. We are proud of our team's determination and skill that allowed us to get through this and even provide service to a customer involving hospitals when their current carrier could not get the job done. Again, there are no weather related bottlenecks in our system. Service should be just as you have come to expect.
Full service meaning the approximately 30% since the UNFAIR LABOR DISPUTE started against us. We sent what few drivers we have out in the unsafe weather to destinations other companies were smart enough not to for safety reasons. Even though pretty much all of the customers were closed in during the snow storm that buried Portland. You should start seeing our inexperienced route drivers sitting around idle, or sleeping once again.
General Rate Increase
Oak Harbor will be implementing a 5.9% general rate increase on all class minimum charges and LTL rates, which will be effective on Monday, January 19, 2009. Some restructuring to meet business needs will also be done. Oak Harbor's pick-up minimum will increase to $77.00 and individually negotiated floor minimum charges will be increased by $2.00 on direct points and $3.00 on indirect points.
The OAKH 500 (1-19-09 level) rates will be available for download from our website no later than Thursday, January 15, 2009. We encourage you to take advantage of this service by downloading our new rate level.
Because of our poor business sense, and unwillingness to bargain in good faith with the union, we are raising our rates to make up for some of the lost revenue. The claims, wasted fuel, wasted time, 92.5% discounts, and inexperienced employees are just costing too much. (our best team ever is costing us a lot)!
Safety
One of the DOT measures of safety is reportable accidents per million miles. For 2008 our final ratio was .05. This is as good or better as we have performed in the last 10 years. This measurement highlights our dedication to the safety of our people, your freight and the motoring public.
Once again we used factitious numbers, using only the number that we wished to use, but it was simpler since there were a lot fewer drivers, and a lot fewer miles driven (it was kind of hard for them to crash when they were either sleeping, or sitting around instead of working)! Youtube videos are the REAL example of our dedication to your freight, and motoring public.
