Are you a dock worker? I work for ABF I don't want to see YRC close, but when do you say enough is enough. The company had all these years & all your money to turn it around & they failed miserably, what makes you think it will so different this time?
Whats factual about post # 2 he cant vote hes retired & has been for years. Look at his join date 2009 & he only has 50+ posts, the reason that is because he got banned several times & went under various user name such as jay c & joe the plumber. And if you look up his ip address im sure it will say Connecticut....He cant hold back around concession voting time....

I don't think that they are so hell bent on closing....I believe they are tired of managers using that threat in every shift meeting they are having and in their minds knowing it was a lie.
The same lies were on a YRCW Teamsters update dated 10/5/2010 that stated "THERE WAS NO PLAN B" and IF THIS DOES NOT GO THROUGH, IT WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY CAUSE THE COMPANY TO CEASE OPERATIONS"...that was 10/5/2010 folks! Employees are having all that pounded in their heads by management and are sick and tired of hearing it.
They threaten to do it if we voted NO on 1/9/14 and the majority voted NO and they did not follow through....THEY BLINKED and brought in the IBT to hash out this POS from the POS they tried to sell us, even though our own Union told us they did not negotiate it and that we were to "Determine Our Own Destiny!"
Well we did, and both sides did not like the outcome....so what ever happens with this vote come Sunday night will finally (?) settle this mess, and i will still be here tt remind you of "what if?'.....KK
he's too pissed to proof read the post! ha ha
Well most locations have/had driver training programs due mostly to lack of applicants from the street. I would strongly encourage everyone to get a cdl asap. Its gonna cost 3 or 4 Gs if you buy it on your own...
what companies are you referring ? almost all of the non union LTL companies has a top rate of well over 16-18 bucks a hour.
OH YES we did, there were many that crossed the picket line, or climed the fence out back to work the dock. Always have had and always will have those who are company men to the core. Back then in the mid 60's we had a way to deal with them. Not always legal and no way to get away with what we did then,now But it worked and I was in on some of them. Fly with the group or leave.
You see there is a difference here. There is no picket line and the laws are tougher on unions now and you will not get away with it. ( the past way of doing things ) Here today you have to decide which way to vote and if you want to stay after the outcome. ( at least I hope you get a choise ) Will they close? will the stay open? How will you vote? it is all up to you. I hope you all get what you want, a company going down or staying open, only about half will be happy. GOD BLESS!!! I think that evan the no voters, are hopeing that the company will stay open.
After watching all of this for years, I do not think you can have a united work force ever again. If I was voting and I have no vote, I would vote YES, but it would really hurt like putting salt on a wound. Good luck my brother and sisters. forever an ageing teamster

Hopefully land in a better place. Non union companies do not any teamster working at their non union facility. Especially a teamster that has been on work comp, over the age of 50.... do I need to go on. Throw away a Teamster job to go work for a non union comapny, that is what a true Teamster would do.By your own admission you are saying vote no a go to work for a non union company if you can land one. Hope you never had a work comp case, over the age of 50,over weight, 26,000 applying for a few hundred jobs. Those pups running up and down the road are not stuffed full. Companies can absorb a lot of capacity before they even hire anyone. Vote yes to stay a TEAMSTER.
Those trucks are running down the road not full because they don't know HOW the fill them up. I've seen how other companies operate.....Fedex specifically. They strap their freight to the walls because they don't know how to stack. Say what you want about the different companies, but back in the day, Roadway had some guys that could fill a trailer and it would be tight. I read where someone asked where someone could get paid $50,000 a year for driving a forklift? Trust me; a skilled "stacker" is worth that amount and more! The unionized LTL companies have always been at a disadvantage to the companies offering 2 day service because our networks were never set up to operate that way.
Smart man, Good luck with the interview. Also, welcome to the boards and do not be a stranger.
Thats what I was going to say but I was waiting for his response....
I find it funny as hell that 6 months later people see Joe in every new Member. He sure knew how to push buttons. Just an observation, your ABF Mod edited a post that mentioned someone that was not here, forget the actual wording but something implying respect for those not around to reply. Then within the last few days I see the derogatory names (Plunger) from him and your seeing Connecticut IPs. I miss Joe.

Thinking, observing, etc? What are you trying to do start trouble? :LMAO:
Why I say this Is all the people he had problems with on the ABF board are mentioned in post # 149 the thread is plan b how are you going to vote....I find it funny as hell that 6 months later people see Joe in every new Member.
