Oh are union will when they start running out of dues money, but not until then, they still have us non-union represented, paying dus fools paying their check every week
i know this will not sound nice but ,how many unhappy non-union employees RIGHT NOW would want to represented by Jimmy Hoffa and company. in my opinion HE (JIMMY) seems to being a real good buddy of Dollar Bill just based upon what others here on the boards have written.
Not to worry ,when this dog and pony show comes to end (YRCW). so does the freight division of the Teamsters.
Not sure if you are trying to stir :
: or not but lets take your post at face value. Yes we are upset!!! No way would I want to be NON! The reasons may escape you, but we all know why.

they gain nothing
And they know abf is jumping on the gravy train soon. Why on earth would they go teamster? They already have pay cuts, a broke retirement plan, and part timers. They don’t need the teamsters for anything.
Im sure the Estes guys are fully aware of the yrc, Holland and new penn nightmare

I just want to set the record straight, no flaming intended. Estes did give their employees a pay raise this year, they also have a functional matching 401k ( i know it would be nice to have a real employer funded pension) and the only part timers I know of are dock and clerical.

No pay cut and our PT dockworkers start at 16.40 an hour and receive regular raises. We have some at top rate right now making 21.40 an hour and work whatever hours/days they want if the work is there. Just saying... But I'd still vote yes if it was presented to me.
Not sure if you are trying to stir :
Kinda funny, I feel like I am NON.

what about them ?
:. Good for you and the pay raise and the 401k, its nice to see workers like you getting ahead. Now if that poor schmuck that loads your truck and the girl who bills that load could just have a chance at a real job I might feel better. I left this industry and won’t be back, I just hope the best for those poor clerical/dock workers that Are getting screwed. They are real people with families and mortgages just like the rest of us, not outsourced cheap labor
To be used up and thrown away.
No flame received, being a dock worker (was anyway) that doesn’t sit well with me. I was pissed when the teamsters I worked with and the IBT sold us dock workers out, so much for the brotherhood bull :

If you want to organize something organize the truck load sector... Almost everyone I know no matter what company it is there unhappy. There is an unlimited amount of resource if they would organize J.B Hunt, Swift and the Great pumpkin.
