Holland | i heard about a pertition at holland in atlanta

can anyone tell me where to sign the pertition that i heard about in atlanta its about central states and would like to sign.
We just had a petition up here that many of us signed last week. It was about the latest MOU. The petition was based on the Union members having to live up to the latest work rule changes and pension payment delays, BUT THE COMPANY HASN'T HAD TO LIVE UP TO THEIR END OF THE BARGAIN. The company is being allowed to delay their financial backing agreement deadlines, yet our concessions, (i.e. loss of week vacation, work rules) are still being implemented. The basis of the petition is that if the company hasn't had to live up to their end of the deal, so why do we have to? The company has been allowed to delay their financial deadline agreements with the investors. So the employees feel that they should also delay the implementation of our sacrifices also.

I'm assuming this is the petition that you're asking about. Hope this answers your question.:1036316054:
 
If you guys can get a blank copy of this petition please fax a copy to Jeff . If you do not have a fax but can still scan it you can contact me via a PM and I will send you my E-Mail address so that we can put it up for all members to print out and take barn to barn , thanks .
 
I am asking everyone to please take the time, read the petition and sign it. This is the only way that as members we are going to get anyone to listen to us!!
 
I've signed it, and have seen them hanging in terminals. I know a driver that has a bunch of blanks and I'll get a copy next time I see him if no one has beat me to it.
 
The real story here is that the union has no power to bargain with the company. Unionized motor carriers make up a small percentage of truck transportation. What recourse do you have? You guys strike, what do you think would happen? You sign a petition, what happens?

I sure hope this works. Something needs to be done. Was informed person with 31 years but is only 54 had put in his retirement papers but had not listed the actual date is was leaving. He was told he would draw approximately $3,100.00. Now with this new restructure his payment will be reduced to $1,400.00. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. Trucking is not an easy job and for them to penalize a person this way is a disgrace. People are being penalized because of their age or some are being penalized for their time paid in. IF YRCW HAD NOT STOPPED PAYING INTO THE FUND IN 2009, I know for a fact that a person had the age they are requiring (55) by Sept. 2009 but instead of his years being 25, it shows 24.663. So what does he lose? He will lose almost half of the payment 48% to be exact. Why be penalized just because you were born a couple of years later or because your employer quit paying into the fund.

WAKE UP PEOPLE. Did you guys honestly bust your butts for all those years to be kicked to the curb only because the business(YRCW) you are employed by could have care less about your future? They were only concerned about lining their own pockets. Holland WAS a fantastic company to work for. People use to line up at the door to see if they were lucky enough to get their foot in the door. Now they are begging for drivers, they hire them and then they quit because the people in charge work and treat everyone like a dog with an exception of a few. Wouldn't it be wonderful if someone out there would buy Holland and let it go back to the great company it once was.

I only hope there are other people out there that feel the same way I do. Thanks for letting me vent. And if anything posted is not correct, please provide any updated information.
 
There is a box on your next ballot that looks something like this... NO..... try checking it next time! Thanks for letting me vent!
