When YRC shut down the southwest Reddaway terminals we had no bumping rights. USF Reddaway employees would be offered preferential hiring at Yellow,Roadway, or Holland after all regular Yellow, Roadway, or Holland employees had been recalled from lay-off in our operating area. You would be hired on as casual or probationary basis. Reddaway employees, who for 2 or more years regularly performed CDL required driving work would receive 90% of full NMFA rate for one year and the full rate thereafter.

robinhood, for your information i'm currently on lay-off status from 3 (yes 3) union jobs, holland being one. I've chose to put on my big boy pants and find employment. I'm not going to blame the union for my life struggles. Believe me i've jump thru the hoops and started at the bottom of many list.(bottom man at my current job) I'll take my 14 years as a teamster and not look back!!! I do hope yrc survives as so I can collect what little pension i have coming!!

short memories? do any of you remember the year before the new contract ? questioniars sent out, what is most important to you in this new contract? things were slowing down at that time, and most said,be happy with small yearly raise,keep our 100% health care and raise in our pensions,some even said they would fore-go raise hourly for raise in health care and pension. we got raises and cost of liveing deal, got increase in pension and kept paid healthcare,and in return,companys got so called flexabilty with there utility guy deal. called compromize,you don't win everything without giveing something. what happened next was the worst economic down turn any of you have ever lived in or even your parents have lived in.10% give back to help save 45,000 teamster jobs or yrcw goes under,why, cause them along with a ton of other companys can't get commercial lending,or refiance ,or sell comercial paper,that keeps these big corps.running in there day to day ops.10% give back sucks,but at least union got the stock thing as getting -hopefully most of our give back back.the latest on that is ,indiviual accnts for members based on 2008 earnings, vs.stock price when it was set, and when this give back ends. if yrcw is still operateing, we all will get a good portion of lost wages back. ever work before,no, ever have this type of economic downturn before.no so, there is no reason this cant be the first time, and have it work. pick any 2 -3 industrys in this country right now and i'll bet you they have permitally layed off more workers than the yrc mearger has most likely elimanated includeing the lastest holland east coast thing.650,000 jobs a month have been lost for the last serveral months vs. 4-5,000 teamsters jobs at yrcw. do the math,ok. one last thing, there can't be but a small group of men still working that was around when hoffa sr.was president of the teamsters.he spent a portion of those last years in federal prison for useing your pension money to help finace the mafia. 100's of million just disapeared, which is probably will you still have to work. sr's bust head deal,yes was needed back than,that was what got the whole trucking industry unionized and started on the right path. those tactics would not work in todays global economey. like it or not. jr's job vs.sr'sjob is like compareing apples to oranges.whole differant world,envoiroment, econmey,nothing is the same.if you want to blame somebody for your loss of job right now, get the blame in the right direction, i beleive it;s called wall street, the ones who have turned debt of any kind into a windfall for themselfs and a nightmare one way or another for the rest of hard working ,middle class america.
or i could be wrong and it might have been a preshift meeting:loser::loser:Benny Hill

Yes, they were closed by YRC. They were what was left of USF Bestway.
That sounds like something a guy with lots of whiskers would say. Seniority rules and screw everyone else, I say later with that BS.
Not all of them was, Albany,GA & Lumberton,NC & Mobile,AL & Metter,GA & Norcross,GA was Holland but not sure if that was in 2008 ?

I think what he meant was that they were originally Bestway terminals before they were changed to Holland terminals. Yes they were Holland at the time of closure.

sinking fealing
Here in buffalo were doing 300 outbound on a great day, 11 out of 18 road bids were just cut And 6 more city guys laid off just today. We have just 44 city men working. I feel for you, im in the same boat with you.
Thanks, I did load all your freight & everything going east out of here its has been getting smaller they have been adding SY & AY on it & you know thats going to stop, and I was one that did load with pride ! but I know some bad ones got by me ? good luck brother I am going back to bed maybe I will wake up & this was all a bad dream.......:smilie_132:
Thanks Snowflake, I'm glad to be here.
Should be interesting to see what happens at Holland during the next 12 months, now that it has become crystal clear that the IBT is in the back pocket of YRC, leaving us SOL.

Why are these people being layed off? Is it due to the closing of the east coast and less relay will be run through Columbus, and the contract carriers from New Penn freight will no longer be going there?

So what does it mean?
So did x-redyway drivers get jobs at YRC? Did they get taken care of or did they get the shaft?

Former USF Reddaway employees had 60 days to apply at Yellow,Roadway,and Holland. If you refused a job no matter what it was you were no longer eligible for any future employment under the preferential hiring agreement. The handfull that were hired only worked a few months before being layed off. We had a meeting at our local with Yellow,Roadway,and ABF to discuss hiring. The representative from Yellow did not show up.
