Just my opinion. Is because there current top scale pay. Younger new hire's are worried about the 3-5 $ higher starting pay elsewhere. They cant or wont understand the benefits.
Your not totally wrong there was a Central Freight and it went belly up. The Big E bought a lot of there used equipment at the bankruptcy auction.
Yeah, but I meant the LTL outfit with the yellow equipment. Oops. Lol
Talked to a city driver this week ( former Teamster) he told me that they are so slow he can’t believe they didn’t layoff yet. He also told me the overtime is almost impossible to get because of holidays & other days that they have scheduled off to have something like 15 weeks a year to get overtime. He also told me that they went from a O.R of 75 to a 76 and they are riding them from gate time to how long they are at a stop….
**** that. NO offense to the OD Drivers. Theres no way i would put up with that.
You forgot to mention that the taxpayers paid more than $120 BILLON for your pension.
Why don’t you give it a rest until our contracts are settled. Or start your own thread where you can continue your hate for the union (while you collect a union pension….Hypocrite) Your bouncing from every union forum spreading nothing but negative nonsense….
What does this have to do with whether he stays or leaves the company?
Rock, you are on point, another issue is/ was the government telling funds they can't be more than 100% funded, my fund at one time was 135% funded, they had to started paying crazy accrual rates (350 a credit) and 13TH checks, to burn up some of the money.
My fund (Central States) never got above a 79% funding rate (I think it was). But, I still remember when our pension was paying out at 2% of contribution credits per year back in the late 90’s up until 2004 when they dropped it to 1%. I remember being told back then that it was because Central States was funded over 90%. I later found out that was not accurate and was corrected here on TruckingBoards by a former poster.
Absolutely nothing! He keeps repeating the same garbage over & over thinking that he’s smarter than everyone else…. Problem is nobody is buying what he’s preaching….
Really? "If the government had not got involved back in 1980 with deregulation."
I would be much more sympathetic to your argument if the government, when they deregulated trucking, had they made it fair.....what I mean by that is rather than give unfair advantages to the non union startups, make it more level...especially after the union companies spent millions securing the territory that the government made them buy to operate there...other examples are, no overtime for truckers, what a farce.....sitting at a dock for two or more hours to get detention time.....then when you get detention time it doesn't even equal minimum wage.....but nope most of these non union companies built themselves up by screwing the mostly uneducated people who drive trucks (myself included).....and the existing (mostly) union companies that had all these expenses the nons didn't have...
That's because he is a disgruntled ex union hater from NEMF. Ignore him, all he wants to do is cause trouble on union forums. At one time he claimed to own his own trucking company, but he always had time to bash Teamsters.
Get your numbers straight.
After making a statement like that you are lucky you are on checkoff.Be careful, I dont want to read that you passed away after falling down the elevator shaft at the union offices.
Your gonna get in trouble!55 gallon drums maybe?
My fund on the West Coast has over 35b in it smart guy, many funds across the country needed nothing. But if OD lays you off Puffy & lets junior guy work nothing you can do but cry. Or even fire you for not getting ur TM his coffee if he tells you to fetch.
