XPO | Watch Your Backs....

Well, we already have a signed grievance and arbitration side agreement that’s in already in affect at the union locations so that part is already fixed. Not trying to be a wise but our situation.

Hey, I agree that you have accomplished something. You have to admit that you have failed to accomplish what you intended.

Yes , it would be better if we had more terminals it would have definitely made things move along faster . I think overall it has helped all of us by making it harder for them to take any more . It’s far from over they are still bargaining at the table and yes the companies ultimate goal is to discourage us and other looking on . You can see it by up north's posts. I think everyone deserves better than what we have . I work with some of the hardest working guys I know and they bust their asses every day and put themselves at great risk in doing so. That’s why I push for better.
I think we fared from failed.
I respect even the critics of what we have done because I realize it’s difficult to go outside of your comfort zone and it’s not for everyone. I think, no I know that everyone that post here are good hard working people that are doing what they feel is best.

Difficult to sell a future you don't expect to see. This place is a mess. The easier way to improve your situation is by application. Hard to go wrong.

Well, I hold out hope will get through this and be a better company at some point . I’m hoping this is a black period we’re going through. Everyone put to much time building the Con-ways and it’s reputation to let this guy dismantle it for short term gains.
 
Just wait until you see the "NEW" yard dwell policy coming out in September...It's been 28 minutes out and 17 minutes in for YEARS, but the "NEW" difference is that there will be an app on our Handheld. If you go over the 28 or 17, you will now have to select the reason why you didn't make your dwell time. No mention yet of what type of discipline will be applied...But, it won't be long now.

All I will say about your seeming intolerance for any more union talk outside the Union thread is simply this; At least those of us who support unionization are trying our best to do something about it. It takes a little bit of courage and a lot of work to try to get this done, against all odds. The answer to your question "Why haven't you got anything to show for 5 years at the table", is staring at you from your mirror every morning.

Don't take offense if you're anti union. These posts are not for you. Of the 800K plus views on that thread, there must be some one who sees some value in an open discussion. There must be someone who has finally had enough and decides to make a move.

When did it become a bad thing to be a stand up guy and fight for what's right? You all know it's right yet some. for whatever reason, have decided not to do anything about it. So, it's just my opinion, but if you choose not to do something...Then, shut the **** up or move on. Why bitch and moan on a thread like this, if you see no future. If I were a younger man, I might be running out the door with you, or I still might have stayed and fought. I'd like to think I'd favor the latter.

The union thread was created just for that purpose... the discuss the pros and cons of unionizing this company. The pro union crew, both employees and outsiders, were posting pro union stuff in every single thread. It’s a little much. I started this thread as a heads up. We have all been lax on the basic p&p, because they have been turning a blind eye. Not any more. So watch yourselves.

Ya but it's all politics talk on that thread.
 
You guys are too much . You have a thread here discussing the termination of employees for whats considered less than cardinal offenses and how favoritism and other factors such a race play into these terminations. Yet you reject unionization which would correct such thing as biased terminations conference calls and replace them with panels and arbitration that would add fairness to the process.
The current union facilities already have an active grievance and arbitration policy in place.
This company is continuing to add draconian disapline policies at an alarming rate . Don’t complain here about how unfair it is and there’s nothing you can do about it. $ 60.00 a month and you can have an insurance policy that at least put things on a level playing field. That alone should be worth it for you and your families peace of mind.
Most drivers listen to right wing radio ,right wing radio brainwashes drivers into believeing that unions are evil and at the end of the show the big liar hosts have the nerve to say " god bless our police and firemen" who are all in unions !

Police , firefighters , the union at their studios , even the actors guild ( which some are apart of also ) , those are alright.

President Trump receives a pension ( if I'm not mistaken ) from one of the acting unions. He was in Hollywood with a hit TV show for quite sometime.

If the drivers knew their beloved fuhrer received a union pension they would sign the cards to be like their idol

You are just being delusional now. I mean. ::shit::. I wish I was 20 years old again, too.

Maybe, hindsight 20/20 though. Its not like we didn’t have warning over the years it would come to this.
I’m not working this week and I’m just kicking back trying to heal.

We're all a bit delusional. I buy $10 worth of lottery tickets every Saturday. I really think I'm going to win. I deliberately don't look at the numbers until Sunday morning, so I get to revel in $10 worth of dreams on Saturday night about what I'll do with the money. Then, Sunday comes and I light my cigar with the tickets.

The little things in life that keep ya going. I can attest to that.
 
2yrs for us and you have no idea how close we are to a contract. It’s not a viable alternative to you but it may be for others . You guys complain about people being fired and your warning people their looking to fire people seems like a more viable alternative than you have now which is nothing . I will withdraw in any further mention in the thread but I think I made my point .
You're warning people. They're looking to fire people. Is the correct usage of these variations lost?

What kind of cigar??
