Good one
kind of like old Turncoat and his new doublewide with granite counter tops, his tricked out pickup truck (no doubt with spinners) and his new bass boat...by the way, I know that Turncoat will vote yes, but he hasn't posted very much since "the gang" came back? You know that down in Mayberry and his 3 driver terminal will vote yes..Let me guess, your up to your eyeballs in debt, your driving record is blemished in some way or your to comfortable with your bid & vacation time? So what one is it? Take the time to read the majority of the threads on this board & then see who is naive....
Hahaha so true.There are some real garbage humans on this site. Some of you guys (you southern yeehaw I'm lucky just to have a job bumpkins in particular) need to shut up and listen once in a while. Your beliefs have gotten you one job where the pay and benefits became too great, AND YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE YOUR NEW JOB THE SAME. Good logic, boyos. Do your wives look at you beaming with pride every morning, salute, and cry out, "Oh captain, my captain!"?
I just received this!!! Please read and pass it on!!!!! Again a NO VOTE IS A STRIKE VOTE!!!!!!
Just reinforces my no vote! Our union wants to threaten us, that just makes me know I’m doing the right thing. They know it’s a crap contract. If it was a real contract we would have started in October. UPS has been in negotiations sense December and their contract isn’t even up until July. If this was a real offer they would have given us the contract details as soon as they agreed. But the union had to try to sell this crap to us. If you can’t see that your blind. Good luck selling your union brothers and sisters out.I just received this!!! Please read and pass it on!!!!! Again a NO VOTE IS A STRIKE VOTE!!!!!!
Good luck my Brothers & Sisters

wow...Turncoat, where ya been...I think the keyboard is attached to your fingers as well (probably the middle one). Glad to see "the gang' has put your in your place...."Everybody hears to talking, but no one is listening"...except to know how mentally challenged you areThey're too embarrassed to go out. The key board has grown attached to their fingers.

I actually have a life away from ABF and TB. Your "gang" doesn't frighten me. A strike doesn't frighten me, in fact, it's probably the best possible time for ABF to lock the gates for a month or so. It may be necessary to get the message across that this is the "best and final offer" as your buddy Spin Docker likes to put it. Meanwhile, Upack is selling moves to OD and Estes and the supervisors are getting the bugs out of the new "piece level barcoding system" cleaning off the docks with PT. You do realize they can't hold shipper's freight hostage, and they will get the police to escort them shiny wheels across the picket line and then back out of town. I'm sure Docker and Muler can explain that to you, since no one is listening to me. We may be on strike May 11th, but don't worry, my old paid for 98 Dodge 4x4 and my little 14' Jon boat with that 15 hp Mariner, we'll be heading to the river. I'll be frying fish on the patio of my little paid for brick home. The wife will pick up the fixings from the grocery store in her nice paid for car. I've lived conservatively these 31 yrs. I have had a Teamster job, so I'm doing just fine. Don't need a bunch of expensive toys. I'm real happy with a wife and grown kids and grandkids that love and respect me.....but, if it makes you feel better.....I cried myself to sleep last night cause' your gang don't like me....I am totally crushed!wow...Turncoat, where ya been...I think the keyboard is attached to your fingers as well (probably the middle one).

Docker I wasn't at ABF until July 2011, the concessionary contract did go through in 2013 because a majority realized we were paying a portion of the H&W and pension increases with our lost vacation and wage reduction. The Southern Supplement increased $1/hr. each of the 5 yrs. for a total of $5/hr. since 2012. Now, ABF is giving the vacation back, keeping our healthcare the same, giving a token raise and a little bonus, but freezing the pension contribution rates. Those funds that do expel ABF, (and that's doubtful) the member gets $6/hr. in his/her 401K, probably about $12K a year, that's going with him/her if they decide to leave ABF. A bi-partisan committee is now tasked to come up with a solution to this pension crisis, which will mean a haircut for all of us. Be thankful if you have been fortunate enough to receive a full pension for a while. Now as for Ernie looking out for us, he has given the option to STRIKE if the MAJORITY of us find the proposal unacceptable. Now, so far, I've not personally been able to find anyone that wants to vote it down. A few locals with less than a thousand members are pushing a No vote to help the political aspirations of Fred Zuckerman. The vote is going to be electronic, with qualified casuals getting in on the action. This deal most likely is going through with a high participation rate and probably about 75% approval. Every driver I know has a smart phone to vote with in his/her hand. You think Ernie is trying to frighten people? Hell, he's just giving them what they asked for....want a damn STRIKE...vote er' down! Now ABF is not going to pay anymore than they are already paying into broke pension funds....it AIN'T gonna happen....and no Federal arbitrator is going to require them to...or he will have to call YRC into account. I can assure you that ABF can be idled for a while until an arbitrator settles the deal....for what is now on the table...or less! It makes no damn difference how they have now become a logistics company that can keep the lights on independently of ABF, but, Brother Ernie knows that. Rest assured, a STRIKE will do wonders for your pension I'm sure.You sure like flapping those gums but when it comes to answering a few questions you clam up like an oyster! I'm sure you understand that terminology seeing just what an avid fisherman you are. So... how about stopping with all the BS already trying to convince others and even yourself of how Muler and I don't frighten you because no one really cares one way or another... but one thing that some members... including myself would be interested in hearing is your answers to these simple questions...

Now...tell me....after you wipe the foam off your lips.....if there is (up to) $5/hr. on the table and Central States Pension Fund, or any other Fund isn't getting their share of it...please tell everyone...who's fault is that? A pension fund that is going broke and the trustees can't even collect what has been bargained for them? Reckon why? I'm gonna vote yes, and hope the new pension reform committee soon fires them and passes a law to require all operating companies to pay their fair share. That would include the YRC companies.Just how ignorant are you??? Tell me that you just didn't say that the Southern Supplement increased H&W and pension increases $1/hr. each of the 5 yrs. for a total of $5/hr. since 2012. All I can say is it's a damn shame ignorant asses like you are allowed to vote!!! Yes... the health contributions increased slightly over the past 5 years but there have been no pension contribution increases to the CSPF for over 7 years. Tell me... do you actually know what "up to" means or do I have to actually explain that to you? I'll tell you what... I'll pay you up to $100 an hour if you come to work for me... but don't come crying to me when you get your first check and you see that you only got $1.20 an hour because I sure filled my obligation... up to $100 an hour... that's $0 up to $100. And since I found you to only be worth $1.20 an hour... that's what you got. That "up to" just went to "up yours"!!!
Tell me... just where in the hell do you get your information... from Ernie or those gobblers that you keep talking about because one's just about as reliable as the other. I'm so sick and tired of you sleazy yes voters coming on here with your asinine reasoning for wanting to accept this BS proposal because there is yet one of you that makes any sense at all! I would have more respect for someone that just would have the courage to say... I'm voting yes because just the possibility of a strike scares the living hell out of me so I'll give away as much as it takes just to see this proposal pass!!!
Like this old timer used to say back in the day... the kids nowadays think they know everything but they don't know jack!!! Now... how about answering the rest of my damn questions so you can make yourself look even more ridiculous than you just did with this post.
