ABF | To all the yes voters who gave away the shop.

It is not only this thread but every thread in the ABF forum that gets trashed. Do you read what you post? So someone in every thread threw a punch is that what you are saying? Oh just a little advice spell check work's really well (through).
If I had a dime every time someone says my spelling is bad I would have several dollars. You still started this!
 
Do you also think that the first quarter report coming out just after the contract vote is a fluke? If so, I have some of those flying pigs I would like to sell you.
Brother steward, I was going to do this several days ago but it slipped my mind. These are the dates of the release of the first quarter report for ARCB over the last 3 years. 5/9/18, 5/4/17, 4/28/16. If I remember I will try to get ABF first quarter reports when I get a better signal. Please excuse my spelling but I live where there are party line phone lines and 1 bar internet. We'll discuss my flying pig then.
 
You should really be proud of yourself at this moment in time. Every company is hurting right now trying to find any drivers in this driver shortage. A good LTL driver is even harder to find. What do you do go out and sell us short!!! We had the upper hand in this, the right place at the right time in history.

Joyce Brenny, chief executive of Brenny Transportation in Minnesota, gave her truck drivers a 15 percent raise this year, but she still can’t find enough workers for a job that now pays $80,000 a year.

“The drivers deserve the wages. They really do, but the raises are coming so fast that it’s hard to handle,” said Brenny, who is having to adjust contracts for drivers – and customers – rapidly.

Well you should have no trouble getting on at Brenny Transportation then,and I bet their insurance package won't cost you a dime either and is probably as good or better than what you have now with ABF. Good luck with your new job!
 
Yes Sir you are right again. I started all the name calling and all the other :horseshit: going on in this thread.
You know someone said "It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance".
Trux, you are making a joke but I truly believe yes on the NMFA was the best option. I also voted NO on the supplement for the same reason. And if you, or anyone else, is going to criticise my decision, then have the decency to offer specific criticism. Not some article in the paper. Make it specific to ABF, then supported by news articles. Not just newspaper articles. PLEASE!!!

You forgot lucky to have a job....
 
ArcBest is a corporation right that we can say we both agree on. What is the purpose of a corporation to provide value and profit for its shareholders can we agree on that? Well you and I are both corporations too. We both have shareholders a wife and kids to provide for. Now first quarter net income (ARCB) was around 10 million. ArcBest also has over 100 million or so in cash reserves can we agree on that? Now how much of a profit is enough for a corporation 10 or 100 million, before you throw a crumb to your employees? How long will it take you as a corporation to make that type of money for your shareholders? With a 1.2 % raise you as a corporation can’t keep up with the rate of inflation. Over the last 6 to 7 years ArcBest has purchased 6 other companies including Albert's, is that a sign of a company in financial trouble? Over the last five years we gave a $1.70 an hour on average back to them. Now we are going to get $2.00 back over the next five. How much of a gain are we getting? Judy gave a $1000 dollar bonus for a yes vote as a bribe. You have your degree we have about 8500 Teamsters right do the math her cost is $85,000.00 dollars can we agree on that? Now she gave us 85,000 but over the next five years she is going to get millions from us back on that investment, if you are as smart as you claim to be you should be able to do the math for yourself. All of this is well known and out on the internet I am not going to research it for you or post the links. ArcBest has lied and used deceit and so as the IBT on us before, it is well known last contract. ArcBest was claiming that the company lost millions in the year before the last contact, but that is not what was reported to the SEC. The facts are there check them out for yourself. I am not that dam willing to take from my shareholders to give to theirs!!! I have no disrespect for anyone voting yes for the right reasons and if it is in your best interest. I tried to put it in simple terms for you.

Trux you know you need to post this a few more times for them to understand....

Why are you here is there nothing else to give away at YRCW? I guess those three letters (yes) runs in your blood!!! After ruin YRCW I guess you came here to do the same thing. So why don't you go back to Holland and cleanup the mess that you left!!!
 
Trux you know you need to post this a few more times for them to understand....

Is there anything in that post, that is not true? After all the years here and on top of that being a Steward I fight this battle everyday. With the changes in this contract that fight will get a lot harder. I have other Teamsters coming into our barn not even knowing what they voted yes on! When you hear someone say that I didn't know that was in the TA, I want to ask why in the hell would you vote yes on it?

If Judy gave $1000 to each of 8500 Teamsters as a bribe, her cost is $8,500,000 not $85,000 as you claim.

There is more untruth than truth in that speech.

How much debt?
 
Triplex, is that more than double the "ArcBest also has over 100 million or so in cash reserves can we agree on that?" Trux is claiming ARCB has? Does that mean ARCB is upside down on their debt? I always heard that was bad. Is it now good because trux says it is?[/QUO[/QUOT


Did I say that they had no debt. I said they had cash on hand. They have taking on debt for equipment and other purchases in the last 5 years.
 
Could someone e-mail me, when all this crap talk is done and something important is said.
Good Luck with that, I told them to take it to PM but they can't seem to figure it out, I have told them to place each other on ignore that's flying over peoples head.. I get PM's from people saying they are leaving, well just leave then... I be damned if I am going to spend every waking moment babysitting grown ass men.

I am not banning people for having a different opinions but the ban hammer will come out soon if you guys keep ****ing up the forum with this nonsense
