That’s what needs to happen at TForce Freight. If it doesn’t, we need to strike!

, Pitching for a strike since 2013.

Like I said, TForce Freight has the weakest Teamsters in all of Teamster Land.

Not dental, prescriptions or several other things.

That is 70 to 80% off the cost right there. Tforce pays an average of $16000 a year for a family of 4 for healthcare. So in Canada that is about $12000 per family in taxes, leaving $4000 for the company.
The fact being, the pie is always the same, it is all how you slice it up.
Don't use Canada as a comparison, in Canada if you called a he who dresses as a she , Mister you go to prison .

16% pay increase would put us at .84cpm sounds good to me

Move to Canada, but don't dare misgender someone, you will end up in prison.

Nor speak out against their lifestyle choices.

Don’t compare freight companies, they’re all different.

Don’t compare freight companies, they’re all different.

They all perform the same function under the same tariffs(discounts notwithstanding). Some are larger, some are smaller . That is by choice sometimes also, TForce has purposely shrunk the business, 2 years ago 10500 union employees, today, just around 7000.

 

[Crumudgeon]

There is always the variable.
The Canadian dollar closed today at $.752 cents to the U S dollar.
It takes $1.33 Can. to equal $1 USD.
Realistically if you have $1000 USD it would take $1329.45 CanD.
To the average driver here at $2000 a week. that's a BIG difference.
So at 16% at the basic conversion of 75% is a 12% raise in USD. Not the worst scenario............

From the new / old line haul job ads they have posted they went from 56.71 cents a mile or $26.42 a hr and $6.22 for every hr worked pension . now it’s 60.11 cents a mile or $28 a hr and $7 for every hr worked pension . Doesn’t seem all that great of a new contract to me
