Your lucky to have a job!!!!!!!!!!! Could of been worse you could be unemployed (NAME CALLING)...

Must be a white collar worker!!! I log 65-67 hours a week, so a few extra days off means the world to me Barstow. I did not say I was not grateful about having a job , I've made my phone calls...What have U done besides *****in on here??? Some of U don't realize that once things are takin away, it's hard to get it back...I don't sit back and live in the shadows...I've called Jr, Mike, and made several other HR calls...Might not get anywhere, but at least I stick up for myself and my fellow truckers...Just because WE still have jobs, does not mean we like the means of keeping it.

i guess he says this to customers when they dont like what they got.

this is your comment, maybe you should have been laid off,

what you gonna say when all these grateful to still have a job people get laid off in the next couple months.

how can you be so grateful when there is no guarrentee we wont be laid off. there is no guarrentee your terminal might be the next one to be shut down.

and people have their facts wrong at conway, about what they lost. i have several family members working there and friends. they still have a 3 percent 401k match. we have none. they lost the bonus 401k money. they also lost profit sharing bonus, we never got one. that bonus was 7 percent of there pay for a driver. and 14 percent for supervisor. so yes they lost lot of money.

but compare apples to apples. you going to say a driver at such and such company lost more than us compare what they have now to what we have now. at most of conway they were at union scale only the southern states were lower. so even a pay cut didnt set them back to far in most states.
and their insurance is about 10 dollars a week. mine is now 58 dollars a week, and that is without vision.

yellow took two pay cuts, but that is from several years of bad management decisions. not because others did it so lets do it to our employees as well.

im not saying one company is better than the other so all who want to attack me for that no need.
what im saying is just take it and say well others lost more, when in reality we are still worse off doesnt make cense to me. has old dominion lost, has ups freight lost? has r and l lost and many others who have not lost any.
yes i have to take it and glad to till be working, but layoff may still come, im worried every year till april comes around and freight picks up. and at this point we all need to be worried cause they could reroute freight at anytime. even change changes they already changed cause its not working how they thought.

I have not been in the meeting yet, Ill be in at 11 but I would like to know what they said about layoffs and if there was anything said about the shops

As far as still having a job there becomes a point when just "having" a job isnt enough.

That's right. Taking a little from nuth'n is worse than taking a a little more from something.
