In reference to the ones who are dead set on voting (NO) I would like for you to tell me where you will go and walk into a job that will offer you and your family insurance paid fully by the company that you don't have to pay any monthly premium, have a pension plan that is alot better than most have, to go and make the money you are making now whether you are road or local, sick days, holidays, personal days?? Whether you go to another (LTL) carrier or (TL) carrier, etc. you won't come even close to what you have now. I hear people say (Send Them Back To The Table) do you think that will really persuade ABF to buckle? I beg to differ....if anything one or two things would likely happen, they would close terminals and DC's lay off employees then after the dust settles the Union will be focused on what can they do to get the people back to work then the company will say (WE NEED) this this and that!! therefore taking the focus off off the wages etc. and will end up with the short end of the stick and most likely a smaller company. In closing I will just ask this ARE YOU WILLING TO GAMBLE WITH YOUR FUTURE and hope they come back with a better offer than we have now?? I don't see that happening, 7% isn't the end of the world or is a weeks vacation, do I like it?(NO)!!, But I'm not willing to throw away 26yrs. and risk taking a chance in starting over!! So I say to (ALL MY BROTHER AND SISTER TEAMSTERS) think long and hard before you cast your vote and think of the ones that men the most(Your Family) could you look at your Wife and Children and tell them....I have some bad news to tell you, I lost my job because I voted out of spite and ignorance instead of with my heart and mind. May God Bless!! Be Safe And Happy Trails!!
