It took many years before some got a little back....very little. The IBT did you newbees a favor by getting that crap article out of the NMFA.

Now when companies spend hard earned freight revenue dollars on racing teams and golfer contracts, while employees are sitting at home laid off, you would want to "give back" to them?....&^$^%#$*^

Lets say you give back 15%...then you see the same dummys, making the same mistakes and mismanagement that got them in the same jam that caused the ESOP to take over...AND THEY STILL WENT OUT OF BUSINESS!

It never worked...and it never will....KK

Amen to that brother, been there three time, done that three times and got screwd three times. so I hope they don't come asking, because I AINT giving

I will bring this up for the last time then I'll drop it. Honest!!! Several here are thumping their chest about giving nothing back but the membership allowed the newbies at $14 per hour part time and the laidoff to pay for their own H&W. That is not my idea of holding the companies feet to the fire. In my opinion it is selling out those coming behind us. Wanna bet if it ever came down to a vote how fast everone turns tail and runs on this issue. Get outta they way or get run over.

I hate to say this but every time they have cut jobs at 120 it has been double, what they originally told us. I sure hope for all of us this is not true this time around. Remember they lie to the public and they LIE, to us even more. Do not trust what they say. Like we say here at 120, if their lips are moving they are lying.
