What's new

Yellow | YRC Back From The Abyss.....

Fisher would not discuss wage numbers, but said YRC is going to need "flexibility in the work force to actually run the business the way it needs to be run." She discussed a scenario in which a worker would be more of a utility worker, allowed to perform more functions than at present. Mehrotra asked whether it was "realistic" to think the Teamsters would move toward that model. "The good news is we have outstanding (union) leadership," she said. "They have been very helpful in the last 18 months. I think in the next nine months we can spend time talking to them, and letting them know the issues so that this is not a surprise."

The company thinks the Teamster leadership is "outstanding", the membership thinks they "suck", there's something wrong with this picture.

Everyone agrees that economy is booming and jobs are plentiful. When we went through the first MOU we were dealing with the recession and we all heard “ you have to pass this, there are no jobs out there, the economy is bad, doom and gloom”

What will they use during contract negotiations to get your vote on anything that’s not positive towards the labor this time.

Union leadership.
 
Notice that there isn’t anything of a hint in her comments acknowledging the reality that the members must approve of the proposal before it becomes a contract.
