GTA I never said your Almighty Holland shut Red Star down .My B***H was with the Hiring process they put the Red Star drivers thru and I hope they don't do that to the Reddaway guys.I hope Yellow gives them fellas and the Holland people who lose their jobs over this the chance to merge into Yellows system but to be honest I don't see that happening. I've learned a long time ago that once these company moguls get away with something they just get better at it and the bad part is they make the Union look like asses over it weither they had anything to do with it or not. We can argue this all night but it ain't gonna help those who need the help now.STOP B****ING ABOUT HOLLAND, and take aim at the real asses who did it to you Red Star guys! They did to Holland too!!!!
how many guys are at that terminal
how about the others as well
are they mid size, small or very large
i'm curious

I'm getting damned tired of these old accusations against Holland for the demise of Red Star when anyone with reasonable intelligence knows YRC orchestrated the shut-down and reconciliation package as a prelude to the buyout. I find it odd that when you talk to Dugan drivers hired by Holland they're happy as hell, but the some of the Red Star guys are still wishing for the 70's powerbase the Union once held..... What's past is past guys, get over it and worry about our future.
Most of Reddaway is NON-Union and I imagine given a deal like Dugan's people They will be as happy to join.
The six centers in Holland probably employ less than 25 union brothers each and most (all?) are in the Southern Conference giving them bumping rights under "suitcase seniority". The Change of operations will allow some to be absorbed into terminals who will be expanding service areas to cover sales regions covered by the closed terminals.
If you need to point a finger, point it at YRC's (mis)Managment and what they've done to take a historically very profitable Regional LTL Carrier (Holland) and turn them into a clone of a barely profitable YRC company. All done by a bunch of Corporate Goons who don't give a damn about producing a saleable product, just stock prices.
Yellow has a long history at being successfull by just keeping it's head above water by climbing up on the competition and drowning them in the process.
In other words.... STOP B****ING ABOUT HOLLAND, and take aim at the real asses who did it to you Red Star guys! They did to Holland too!!!!
Cavehunter,I Am One Of Those At Reddaway In Texas. It Was No Shock To Us. They Call It Bad Service But We All Know It Was Bad Management.fired Or Ran Off All Sales People In Texas. Dallas Did Not Have One Sales Person. This Could Have Been Such A Great Company. But We Will Survive.

Thanks -I'm glad you noticed I wasn't there on Sundays. It's been that way for 25 years and it's going to stay that way. As soon as the local changes it to Saturday and not Sunday I'll show up. Don't you tell me when I'm going to Church. I pay my dues and vote and the DRIVE program. Sorry that I put Church and family ahead of the Union. Change it and I'll show up if not -DEAL WITH IT. Funny when my dad was a Steward it was Saturday but now it's Sunday. I'm not Catholic and Church starts at 10:15AM and that's the way IT IS!

They closed the terminal in Duncan, and moved the entire operation into the very large Roadway terminal south of the city. As far as I have heard, it was just a location change and not leaving the area.
