Some will read your post, especially "let's give them 40% of our pay" and dismiss it as fear mongering. But is it? I think Con-Way has shown repeatedly that they will beat to their own drummer. And they will test waters where no others would dare. I suggest to all Con-Way employees that have been there for any length of time, to evaluate the pendulum, and which way it is swinging. That is, of course, if there are long time drivers left at Con-Way. Out here, on the west coast, all I see are youngsters fresh off the dock, driving for line haul. My point being, if you are going to slow down the ruthless decline of current conditions at Con-Way, there is only one choice to make. Or, you can always wait until you can't afford to feed your kids. It's up to you. Either way, you WILL be crying out for help. Whether it is now or later. Teamster Elvis out....

The teamsters wil give Con Way the same job sevurity that they gace APA, Red Star, CF, McLean and the hunderds of other teamster LTL jobs.
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.

Come on Boxboss. Do you blame him for reaching out? You truly have some cast iron balls defending what you and your management staff have thrust upon your bread winners. Without them, you are nothing. And I mean, zero. The sooner corporate at Con-Way concedes this fact, the more secure your position becomes. But we both know this is not going to happen.
