ABF Teamsters dialed in to a “tele-town hall” discussion on Thursday night, March 18, 2010 to get an update on the efforts to save more than 6000 Teamster freight jobs at ABF. Listen to the audio here. Bookmark and Share ...

The last time I looked.this past week I saw ABF going for 29.00 dollars a share.not too shabby for a company that wants to steal some money from the very people that are making the company money.I remember the Union saying it wasn't going to extend the same paycuts or anything for that matter to ABF.

I think it will play a bigger part if that Health Care Plan Reform passes.

i find it very hard to believe that ABF "lost" $100. just because they're not making the same $$$ that they were a year or two ago, doesn't mean they "lost" all this $$$. it's very convienent in these times of givebacks and wage freezes for ABF to cry about not being able to compete. funny, but when things were all fine and dandy, i never heard a peep about them competing with YRC for frt. now all of sudden your chasing the same frt as them ? sorry but u gotta come up with something better than that. as for the IBT, they're just puppets for these co.'s. they will do as they're told and ram it up the employees @ss just like they did to us at NP.

Just like Washington D.C. is trying to jam the Healthcare Plan down everyone's throat.

Maybe I'm wrong but I could have sworn that ABF had about 400 million in the bank last year. Anyways, I spoke to a friend of mind today that works there and last week they were told that ABF gave 65 Million bucks to some charity. If this is true then I wouldn't vote no, I'd vote ---- NO!!!!!!!!!! I'd vote that anyways. Any ABF lurkers hear this?
