And in a month or so the ABF teamsters are going to say the same thing. The bleeding has to stop somewhere & im willing to take the risk....In other words ABF is telling the employees to f-off.
Sad. So sad.
It will be "handled" the same as in 1994 I suppose.There are other things to prepare yourself for. Like what will you do when the purchased transportation carrier shows up at your picket line??
What's the worst thing that could happenIf you haven’t saved enough by now, 12 months won’t do squat!
What's the worst thing that could happen
1964 original contract covered 400,000 drivers at 16,000 companies.Teamster 1970 Wildcat StrikeWe have the upper hand now with severe shortage of Driver's , time to stand up !
Don't remember the year, but the companies locked us out.
6 of us were taking hrs. in Birmingham, company gave each a bus ticket home, we cashed them in, rented a Dodge Monaco, appointed
a designated driver, bought 2 jugs of Black Label Jack Daniels
and headed for Charlotte, I was lead singer of the group.
That's a good thing. I would think they could even do better than that in the amount of time we have. I seriously doubt it'll even be needed. We have a track record of giving YRC almost anything they ask for.Most, if not already engaged in good savings habits, might be able to save enough for a week, maybe two, without a paycheck. Jmho
Unequivocally no. This place wouldn't last 23 minutes on strike. The product that yrc freight has to offer can be replaced by any fly by night carrier. But , let's be honest ,the union will never authorize a stike, not going to happen. Those days are gone.We were locked out in 1994. 23 days by the barrel. I was in my 5th year at Holland and we were booming. O/R in the 80’s and great working conditions. I had spent my first 11 years at Thurston Motor Lines, so Holland felt like trucking heaven comparatively speaking.
So after the strike it took awhile for the freight to return, but it did. Holland’s reputation and service standards were the key. A question each of us have to answer is Can we say that about any of the effected subsidiaries of YRCW presently?
