ABF | THANK YOU FELLOW ABFers

[ABF Mike]

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANKS TO ALL WHO POSTED OR REPLIED TO COMMENTS FOR OR AGAINST THE WAGE REDUCTION PLAN. I HOPE THE NUMBERS FROM THE VOTE SENDS A MESSAGE TO THE BRASS. ABF PEOPLE ARE THE INDUSTRIES BEST AND NO MATTER HOW WE VOTED WE ALL WANT ABF TO THRIVE IN THE BUSINESS FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. I DO THINK MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO TAKE THEIR TIME BEFORE THE NEXT PROPOSALS TO ANY FURTHER PAY CUTS FOR THEIR CONTRACTUAL EMPLOYEES, AND POSSIBLY OPEN SOME DIALOG BETWEEN LABOR AND MANAGEMENT. AS WES KEMP POSTED FIFTEEN PERCENT MORE PRODUCTIVITY IS AS GOOD AS FIFTEEN PERCENT WAGE REDUCTION. THIS IS NOT A VICTORY FOR LABOR AT ABF BUT A SIGN TO MANAGEMENT WE ARE SERIOUS!! WE NEED TO WORK SMART AND EFFICIENTLY.

I think Tyson knew what the vote results were going to be when abf brought up the concessions.he just wanted it validated with a no vote.I dont know what the outcome or end result is for the survival of abf.abf management could stick a fork in it a little deeper.by design.
