We've given all we can give! Now it's up to YRCW execs to keep the banks and bondholders happy by running this company the RIGHT way! Hang on! It's gonna be a really bumpy ride the next 14 months!

More givebacks coming. Those you won't get to vote on. Bankruptcy courts will tell you what you get

excellent job, u obvously did ur homework ,and you also just gave the main reason why non-union companies want to keep the union out ....the total compensation per employeee per year is just unbelievable...no wonder there are no jobs with pensions

So what is your point? dont drag abf down cause you were stupid on voting YES. We knew you were making a mistake.

If you have a family and need medical care , you might be in for a suprise when you get the bill for services for your 20cents on the dollar H&W benefits. Better have money in the check book for your next dental visit !!! You sound like a non union guy that tells me he makes less in salary, less in H&W and has no pension contribution but he is doing better than a union guy at full rate even though you have to work 50 + hrs. to make what a full rate union worker does in 40 hrs. 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" ???

YRC may have a cost advantage over most if not all the major nons too. Con-Way is giving back part of the wage concession in Jan at a cost of $25 million on top of calling back a lot of laid off drivers to handle the predatory freight. That will be interesting
