Yellow | Just decertify!!!!

np107 should go work at estes at straight time for the first 55 hours,pay for your own healtcare,and be sent home before his eight hours are up because theres no work and maybe he would realize we dont have it that bad yet.

thats right, we dont have it that bad YET, but you yes voters will lower our standards one vote at a time. you go to estes if you dont want a pension instead of voting ours away.
 
Any one who thinks they will not give you another offer can just look at what ABF said when they asked us for a give back, we were told by our union president that we will not get another chance to vote and to prepare for a big lay off, well to bring you up to date there was not one lay off at my barn and we are using casuals to fill needed driver jobs, as to the only time we will get to vote just read the boards ABF is in talks with the teamsters again and the talk is a 5 percent cut, I for one will not give a penny, if we fall well then why not all fall together, and if this is what it is well then I for one want to die with my boots on and not crawling on my knees.......
 
What you should really look at is how much profit did you make?How well is your family doing?Now figure out how your going to pay the bills without the check you rely on everyweek.Nobody likes what is infront of us now,we are all frustrated and angry.Dont let your anger and indignation overrule your logic and common sense.No one is trying to pull a fast one yrc is brink of destruction this may work it may not,but a no vote will surely be the end!
If you had common sense you would have lived on less than you make, saved up a cushion and not be such a fraidy cat of bad times. What would you like to list for sale' I might be interested in helping you keep your house for a great deal on some of your prized possesions.
 
hayseed,I do put money aside every week ,and do have a nice cushion.The problem is that cobra for my wife and I cost $984 a month on top of other bills that cushion will not take me to age 65.Make no mistake this is not a negotiating tactic.A no vote puts you,me,and everyone else out of work and that nice cushion you have will be gone b/4 you know it.Tell me how a no vote saves anything,And as for common sense its quite apparent that you have none.
 
I think New Penn 107 got it exactly right. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its truely amazing.Ive never seen so many men happily headed to the unemployement line.Vote no save our pension!No one has been able to explain how thats going to work.Since this is your favorite phrase you would think somebody could tell us how yet they cant!Thats because a no vote wont get you your pension.It will just get you unemployed, with no pension,no sick days ,no personals.no seniority,just a 52 week a year unpaid vacation!When you finally realize just how much youve lost it will be way to late!
 
Not to step on you post just wondering. The profit that you guy's made is a great step, but in corperate eyes they look at the big picture. 2 mil profit is like a cup of coffee compared to your paycheck, in a Billion dollar corp. Most all terminals sell / leaseback, estes or pyle wants Maspeth etc. I would look really hard about no vote. We went this far zollars and smid gone 2 more TEAMSTERS on BOD I personally believe 1 more chance woun't hurt. 24yr ROADWAY guy here I hate this yellow thing just as much if not more. GOOD LUCK and GOD BLESS ALL!

Makes good sense to me!!!
 
Makes good sense to me!!!

Voting NO always made sense to you, right up till it was time to vote, then you went down like a cheap prostitute... You and lucky said you would never vote Yes for any more givebacks after the 1ST concessions, and again after the 2nd..LET me guess this is definetly your last YES vote. LOL As for no jobs being out there, I had no trouble changing careers and finding a job that pays the same as New Penn with all benefits including a PENSION and 401K with a match and no HOFFA to give it away..
 
hey irishman107,where's this big paying job at, you see to have gotten ? you're buddy there says you were permently disabled.newpenn107,why do you still work here at npme? you have gotten nothing into you're pension for 18 months and now another 6 months, that maybe. thats everything you seem to say you stand for. but you're still here working at npme. WHY? you say everyone who voted yes is a peice of ::shit::, a year ago and of course if any vote yes to save there jobs this time we all know what you think we are, but here you are a year later, still emplooyed at npme,why? how can someone who is so hard core agaisnt everything that has happened still expect anyone to listen to what you say, when you , lived and we hope at least worked at little through the year, are still here working at these un bareable conditions at npme.

I never said those who voted for it are a piece of ::shit::.. but it's for sure that you are! I said he was disabled ( from this line of work). I am here to stop pieces of ::shit:: from destroying the union contract for freight. I am here because they can close the hell up and i will collect while doing something else. I've put 23 years busting my ass at newpenn what have you done? And please don't tell me you're a raod driver like lucky7. thats the problem at newpenn, spoiled road drivers who do nothing! they cry if they have to figure out what placards they need. There are jobs out there, you're just too dam comfortable at the job you have. Like irishman said, lucky7 spouted off how he will never give back more.. and now he preaches how anylitical he is and how financially smart he is. Yet, he has thirty years and can't retire!!!
Don't ever try and call me out about where I stand, I stand for OUR contract and the Freight industry, I'm willing to make sacrifices for our union and our contract. You and those with you, have never made a sacrifice for anything. Do you really think I want newpenn to close?? If you do then you are number one dope!! But I sure as hell won't stand by and watch someone from outside destroy what we worked for. So , say what you want, because we all know what you and your side kick are about. you're truck drivers who think they are smarter than everyone else.. news flash, you're not, but you sure have less balls and commitment than most of us! End of story! now go cast your vote for whats good for you.

City Steward TEAMSTERS local 107.. and this will be our 4th no vote!!!
 
Well NewPenn 107 history being your( not so strong )suit,lets recap.First 10 percent cut I preached no vote along with you ,even stood up at the hall and said it made no sense for N.P.Then round 2 and 3 came around, you asked if I was going to give more back I said no.Then I looked at the whole picture and realized this wasnt an empty threat!Thats when I had the balls to publicly admit I was wrong ,and the only way for N.P. to survive was to vote yes!Now more than ever a yes vote is required to survive.This isnt my analysis but the union and the companys along with independent dept restructuring corp.Now I challenge you to grow a set, and stop with the mindless preaching and face reality. Let those who are not as fortunate as you to find somethig else that pays as much to keep thier jobs!I can retire but due to the high cost of medical coverage I wouldnt be able to live as comfortably as I would like.Your no vote is destroying the company from the inside no outside help is needed!

New Penn doctors set my medical restrictions, which for me means I can never drive a truck again...So I will take my settlement from workers comp...But I am still able to work and chose not to sit home even though I was getting over 800.00 clear a week on W/C. As for where I work now, lets wait to I get my settlement check. But I can tell u its more than you will ever get from your pension because you will die in that truck chasing that medical insurance and never collect the pension. Thank you for keepin that pension solvent by not collecting it. More for me.If the only reason you are working is for the Medical why don't you get a part time job to pay for it and collect your pension. Let them hire some out of work YRC driver. Every year you work you are giving up 40,000 dollars that you earned in pension payments..Financial genius is not one of your top qualifications.
 
Cant we all just get along,just shut the f up and vote one way or the other,is it really worth arguing with people youve worked with all these years.yrc caused this not new penn.just vote and move on either way.
 
Hey Irishman 107 didnt know you were injured.Sorry to hear that.How did I end up catching s--t from a post by allnighttrain44?Since I have your attention,You might be interested to know not everyone gets the same pension.Mine if I choose to protect my wife,would be 2400 a month b4 taxes .After paying cobra which is 984 amonth and can only get for 18 months that doesnt leave much to live on!Financial genius that I am,It came to me that working at N.P.till age 65 with its co.paid health care and $20 an hour wage makes ,way more sense than your plan for me!Then again no one ever called you a genius!!!(lol)
