You were a lucky man. Lenny and I never hit it off, he had an ax to grind with me from day one. I don’t know what set him off but we never got along. Honestly I hate the man because I never knew what his problem was and he was too much of a wuss to resolve it. He never tried to argue with me because he was too stupid to win and he knew it, but at least he could have been a man and said what was on his mind. He’s a failure at every job he has ever had there including manager. (He resigned because he couldn’t handle it so they bumped him down)I think I’ll send him a Christmas card and wish him well on that freezing dock at 1am (the only job he could get)the looser.

This is par for the coarse isn’t it? Let’s put aside all the lies from the contract vote and just focus on the last two “equal sacrifice” pay cut votes. It never was equal, until the economy hit the dirt the original yrc plan was that all non union workers go back to full pay January 1st 2010 (a few months from now) Memorandum from Bill Zollars on Management's Salary Cuts | Teamsters for a Democratic Union where as we were stuck with this for the remaining four years of the sellout contract, but they didn’t tell you that did they? If you remember zollers came out with a statement shortly before the last vote was even counted stating the non unions weren’t going to have to sacrifice anymore than they already were. Remember the “apology letter” to Hoffa? What a scam. Keep in mind who is actually footing the bill at the end of this dinner, Holland, YRC, and New Penn, that’s it. every other company under the yrc umbrella is not, and neither is any other freight division teamster, just you. You had two choices, stand up for yourselves and take whatever lumps you might suffer, or lay down and let them put their foot on your neck. Over 70% laid down. The "few" that stood up are now being forced to lie down because the "many" decided to take it in the

We did stand up we voted no , union gave us no backing and told us if you vote no again they are going to merge us into yrc. We were sold out by the union period.
