Go ahead, I'll watch Con Way go down the tubes with YRC and the remaining teamster LTL jobs.

History proves that teamster LTl jobs never last.

Your posts are like pulling the cord on a Chatty Cathy doll that can only say the same tired old line. "WAAAAA WAAAAA that Teamsters kid kicked my *** and stole my lunch money!"

History proves another thing Puff. Out of your 482 posts we have not seen a truthful post yet. Even the BS is BS!

Fact: No ltl truck line is secure. Union or non union. Who are you going to blame for the demise of all the non union ltl truck lines in history?

Perhaps you can be reconditioned and when your cord is pulled you will simply state the truth for once "Hi I'm Puffy. I wish I was a Teamster again."

Its the only way to stop Conway from taking away from us. There on a roll now, its not going to stop unless we organize and say enough is enough. It would be great to work under a contract where rules are in black and white and not made up as they go.

Think about it, what would do the union do for us? I don't really think the uinon would change anything. The union is not on omnipotent being that can perform miracles. right now i think going union would cause more harm than good for us. Im not at all happy with the screwing we got a conway recently but i dont think that going union would save us at all.

Well I have heard it all now. For your information union trucking companies have out lasted nonunion trucking companies by decades. Lets talk about futures. Some of you non believers always bring up YRC. Do you know why you morons keep bringing up YRC because they are STILL IN BUSINESS that is why you all keep saying their name. Where are those nonunion companies that have gone bust. I'll tell you where their freight went.RIGHT TO US AT ABF. I will challenge any of you nonunion nobody companies to come after us. Don't pick on YRC come and try and beat us GREAT TEAMSTERS at ABF. We wish you all had the nerve to stand up and stop corporate greed we the TEAMSTERS have been doing it for over 100 YEARS. YOU guy's can;t even stop them from taking your vacations. The next thing you know they will be taking your toilet paper away to save even more money for them to keep. Hey I know why don't you all ask if you can please work more hours for less money and less respect. How could you expect your company to respect you when you all won't even put up a fight against the company for taking your families future away from them. When all the dust settles and some of you come to ABF to work I Promise I will see to it that you are not treated like the dumb idiots that you are seen to be at the present time. YOUR BROTHERS ALWAYS
