YRC is leading this trainwreck of bad freight rates and pay reductions !! Ask any non union guy that has to take a reduction, it is directly affected by what the union carriers are having to do. What do you mean by running the company "the right way" ???

Why crunch the numbers to show that you are making less because of poor decisions from upper management who will still get a golden parachute while you go look for another job?? I
