Yellow | YRC Worldwide Reviewing Options After Unsuccessful MOU Vote!

Is that like a 'moderator' of the board? :bouncy: did I get it?

You got it. :1036316054:

And don't you go away. You make excellent posts.

And don't be intimidated by anyone on here. Any person has the right to ask a question, but they certainly don't have the right to DEMAND an answer.
 
SinC:

"Simple as that... OH yeah and by my own admission in several places I love to debate and talk... This isn't the only board I post on.... I have THOUSANDS of posts out on Several different boards... "

"Sorry - What is Mod? "




Oh...Oh!!!
 
I apologize for all of this...

I just want to be part of the conversation. I appreciate all of the comments, they made me feel like I do have a choice in what I share....

:grouphug:

I am sincere in my statement PapaJohn (Holly Toledo) That's what my friend calls her father-in-law..... ?? Anyhow, If you give me a reason why it matters, I will tell you my relationship with the company....
Rest assured... I'm not management (that seems to be the biggest fear)....
Pardner, In case you didn't know MANY of the front line managers are quietly on our side. They know that if we get a concession jammed upon us, they are going to get the same or even worse AND they don't even get to vote on it!
 
Yrc management will be placing another offer on the table, with out all of the extra concessions added in, they tried and lost. The lenders asked for a five year mou to be in place, lets see what they come up with that both sides can live with.....it's called negotiations.! Maybe if management can shut their mouths long enough, this is between management and teamsters not the business press. Our customers and the other companys find out even before we do !
 
You truly - honestly- really believe that the Rank and File have the skills necessary to run a company? Most people (not targeting teamsters here) ... most people don't have what it takes to run their own household finances... BTW - I spend a lot of time with 'the average Joe' helping them straighten out their 'financial house'... on this one - I do know what I'm talking about....

In my opinion - anyone - and I do mean ANYONE who lost anything back to the bank to repo, foreclosure, or filed bankruptcy in 2007-2012 would be seriously unfit to run a company... that leaves about 12 - 30 people out of my barn... that might have some skill in finance, now lets talk management skills, investing, R&D, LOL.... Wow - that is a very sobering thought...

P.S. - I can hear you ... "That's what our MANAGEMENT did" - and on this point I say... - MANAGEMENT came up with a strategy, no matter how bad you think it is/was.. that kept 10s of thousands of people employed, with GREAT health benefits and GOOD vacation thru what was hopefully the worst of a really bad economy - That is what it takes to run a company..... and a household... make some damn hard choices and "STAND IN YOUR TRUTH" ~Susie Orman

Have a WONDERFUL SATRUDAY!! I truly do mean that :)

Honestly, I do believe that there are members of the rank and file that are capable of running a trucking company. I will admit that one of this size, presents some challenges that are unique, but the actual running of the company, could be done by teamsters.

The problem with this company is its financial situation, that I believe is well beyond the scope of most. The majority of the focus presently is putting out financial fires due to the debt/interest issues.

Moving freight is a simple process. Get it there on time and don't damage it. With some training in cost analysis and logistics, teamsters could probably master most of the jobs.

My mentor was/is a truck driver that bought a distressed company and brought it to success and sold it to a conglomerate that destroyed it in less than 18 months. He ran a network of 30 terminals, by himself. His terminal managers were responsible for their individual terminals without the necessity of district or regional managers overseeing their business.

Its not rocket science, it is rather simple.

If it were one of the heritage companies or one of the regionals standing alone, I truly believe that teamsters could be responsible in jobs throughout.

Stop it EL ! Stop making sense.

Most of what you say is correct. But this fight was and still is between the lenders and the Teamsters.
 
You don't think the economy had anything to do with that? I thought we were run by a roadway business plan for the years from 2009 - 2011?? slightly fuzzy on that...
What is your plan? Do you know how to run a business? Offer some suggestions.... :)
2O Years Roadway before the merge and I never seen some of the spending that I seen after the merge, trust me SinC I seen plenty of things in my 20 at the Big R, but the 4 years I spent with the merged companies makes me believe all the rumors about ole Yeller goin bankrupt before they some how purchased a cash cow
 
So here you are, not even a YRC employee (even though in my opinion that doesn't matter at all and you have as much right to post as anyone) and you get all pompous and question others' backgrounds. You're too funny for words.
Why are you worried about who papajohn works for?? I believe it was 32 with USF, he retired only to NEVER recieve a check so he went to work for ABF, so yes triple he has a horse in this race,, by the way you dont work for a YRC company now do ya??

I'm not now nor was I ever "worried" about who papajohn works for. I never asked for any of that information as it's none of my business. If you came to the conclusion that I was "worried" or that I even care about that you definitely have comprehension deficiencies. He was the one who was brow beating someone else and I responded to him the way I did because of that behavior. By the way, my status is none of your business just as your status is none of mine. Debate and discuss the content of the posts unless of course you're unable to do so.
 
#98,, you believe he was a YRC Teamster,, that sounds like a little bit of a question in your mind. Is papa over the top by demanding 3 or 4 times, yes he is, is it her right to tell him, thats on her, but the point being, we as YRC Teamsters have been beaten down by Yellow management for a long time, are some people offended when outsiders "with no interest" just show up and start asking questions that really are of none of their concern,, yea I think they have that right.. Me personally I could care less, if these folks really have no interest then they wont care what I have to say as to how screwed up this Yellow Ruined Company really is. But you are another one of those who "supposedly" have no interest in this company,, but just come here to play the devils advocate and keep good conversation going..

Huh? How did you come up with this conclusion from my post (#98)? I'm really mystified.

But you are another one of those who "supposedly" have no interest in this company,, but just come here to play the devils advocate and keep good conversation going..

Huh again?? Where on earth do you get the idea that I have no interest in this company?? Do you read my posts??
 
You are just like papajohn, the only difference is he retired and got boned,, you left before you could retire,, but you only seem interested in triplexs pension, while a mass majority of are are here fighting the battle with these people.. Your comment could be taken 1 of 2 ways, me being a what we call a sh** stirrer will take it as though you are doubting his word. Just trust me on this triplex, I bet ya papa talks more than any of us on tb..

Yellow who, I am truly mystified by your conclusions. You know nothing about me, and I'll just leave it at that. Have a good night.
 
Oh I know enough.. You forget Ive been reading your comments for going on 4 maybe 5 years now,, but you have a good night as well..
 
lenders should get a clue and negotiate direct with union instead of senior management aka clown trucking as a middleman.

I agree. The IBT is the SOLE bargaining agent for the employees of the YRCW companies. Perhaps three way would generate some transparency about financial conditions and corporate goals. The negative aspect is corporate strategies would help our competition.
 
if that were to happen, it would remove senior mgt. ability to spin the truth. And in the process force them to become the leaders this place desperately needs. Real leaders rise to the crisis at hand & take charge, lead by example.
