Calling it a Letter of Agreement makes it sound like both sides came to an understanding, but it seems clear that the Union won't be putting this to a vote. The audacity of this list of demands is a downright insult to anyone who's moved a stick of freight for them the last 15 years. Don't buy the hype about them promising you this pathetic potential raise when they spend untold millions sending travelers criss-crossing the country because they can't figure out how to move freight

Thanks for posting this, Jeff. The incredible gall of Yellow is far beyond insulting. I hope that the Teamster employees recognize this for what it is. A desperate attempt to achieve what they so far have been unable to do. Which is to completely eliminate the protections that have been won, over many years, through the collective bargaining agreement.

This “agreement” is absolute BS. This doesn’t even need to make it to the voting stage. It pains me to say this because of the thousands of new and young brothers and sisters that are out there, but I say lock the gates and walk.

So they want even more flexibility than most non-union carriers even have, for a “possible” minor raise that still has them roughly $10/hr behind the non-union competition? Time to stick a fork in it.

If the union caves to this it’s all over as a union company they’ll do as they please.

Facing the same terms and conditions as ABF. And whose economic package is significantly superior. Yellow is unable to be profitable, without concessions. The changes must come from senior management, NOT the Teamsters.

The future has been bleak. The company has been on life support since 2008.

They can’t be serious

Right or wrong, I really think the lights are going out this time. Good luck to all.

I don’t wish that on anybody, but damn, how many more rabbits can they pull out of their hat?

Does anyone have a rough idea of how much money we have given up since 2008? I’m estimating it’s enough to pay everything off,build all new terminals and replace every piece of equipment a couple times over. This pos company knows they aren’t going to survive this. This is how they blame the teamsters for shutting them down in the media. I just hope when it’s done the international takes out front page headlines with every major paper that is left and shows the country exactly what we gave up.

the UE proposal was better than this proposal

40 cents, hahahaha more like 4.00hr.

Grim.

So what does that tell you? Think before you answer.

The 40 cents was already contractual. The 60 cents (which 50 cents of that is taken away from H&W) so you're technically, only getting a dime. 50 cents grand total.
