Grievances are filed and are in the process of trying to straighten it out.
And NO NOT AT ANY EXPENSE.
Hope isn't going to pay your mortgage or buy your family food.
They had the 80 million to buy the Chinese outfit.
How much does dollar bill make, salary as well as stock.

Nobody wants to rape and pillage but we should be able to get on the same train as the employers to the end of the line.
The problems with the stock market are self inflicted, GREED has driven it all.
And NOW these companies cry poor to us, the working people of this country, the ones that drive this economy.
If they supress our wages, WHO will buy the durable goods that keep this economy going as well as growing.
Please do not enlist yourself in a conversation that believes EVERYTHING they say.
They are only concerned about the stockholders and their corporate wages, which by the way are grossly out of porportion to the rest of us, and what perks they can get during and when they are fired.

I know what 707 thinks..... I go to every one of my meetings.
I also know firsthand about the diversion of freight to YRC Logistics. One of my accounts that took me a year to cultivate from 4 or 5 skids a week to 2 full pups per week has now dwindled back to a few skids with YRC Logistics getting the rest. And it's not just my freight, but Yellow freight as well at this one particular account. There are dozens of accounts being diverted between Yellow and Roadway in 707's jurisdiction, going to Logistics. I am also not arguing any points about corporate wages and compensation. I know just how much Dollar bBill makes per year, and I'm pretty sure he could live on half of that and have our numbers look much better to the investors. Just look at the stock. Roadway in the low 40's and Yellow in the high 30's. Now it can't make a sustained move over $20 and just keeps going lower and lower. It's amazing we have any investors at all.
As you mention, the problem associated with corporate greed is the outsourcing of our country's manufacturing sector. They ship out the jobs, make the products overseas, then import them back here, and expect the former manufacturing employees, that have lost their jobs to overseas, to be able to, or want to buy their products. If we would all start trying to buy made in America products, instead of looking for the lowest price, we could turn this trend around. The more stuff made overseas, the more Americans that will be out of work.
