get ready for give backs at abf!

It won't be as easy for ABF as it was for YRCW. Remember that we will still have to vote on any concessions to the contract. ABF must be working day & night trying to come up with a proposal that they can sell to the IBT and the men.

well folks they have to compete

Compete yes,but there is all forms of competition.Treat the freight like its your own and get it there on time and damage free. Let them worry about selling the services.

ABF refuses to open it's books to the Teamsters..so that is why you haven't seen anything.

They want concessions...but not at the risk of "open book"

So, don't look for it.

No concessions, Get the Salesman to get out there and do what they are paid to do...SELL! Go after government contracts that ARE out there. Govt' contracts are set at cost + 28%. Really, does anyone think ABF really wants to grow? think about it. I think the Fort has a high, an unfounded, opinion of themself. Beware of 'Bean Counters' when calling the shots in any business. Their only concern is ROC(return on capital) and following the business matrix. Remember what major is one of the easiest in college? Business Management.
