Looks like Santa Claus better stick to driving reindeer’s
 
Numbers. It's all about numbers. Holland is swamped right now. City guys are reporting up to "82%" discounts on rates. That's losing money. The quarter reports will show a loss. A loss brought on by themselves. To make things look really bad for the company. So they can cry the blues, and beg for a low pay contract. They know what they are doing. They have everything planned out. DONT FALL FOR IT! The "GIVE BACKS" are over! Time to fight for our deserved pay! All other LTL companies pay more than ours does, and still makes billions in profits. Wake up!!

Here's some recent comments from company CFO Stephanie Fisher...

Getting ready for next year's labor talks
Being a unionized carrier, YRC is not in position of needing to raise wages at this point to attract new drivers. The Teamsters did make concessions during YRC's most difficult days, and Mehrotra said there was has been "bluster" from the Teamsters getting prepared for negotiations on a contract that ends in March 2019.

Fisher would not discuss wage numbers, but said YRC is going to need "flexibility in the work force to actually run the business the way it needs to be run." She discussed a scenario in which a worker would be more of a utility worker, allowed to perform more functions than at present. Mehrotra asked whether it was "realistic" to think the Teamsters would move toward that model. "The good news is we have outstanding (union) leadership," she said. "They have been very helpful in the last 18 months. I think in the next nine months we can spend time talking to them, and letting them know the issues so that this is not a surprise."

YRC is not in position of needing to raise wages ??? Really Stephanie you need to stop drinking the company Kool Aid !:heykoolaid: we need to at least match the non-union pay scale ! so "Pay the Rate or Lock the Gate " and for Flexibility, She discussed a scenario in which a worker would be more of a utility worker, allowed to perform more functions ? Really ?? So let's send a road guy out with 15 stops or a city guy on a 600mile run with the World's slowest trucks !! Time to start thinking STRIKE 2019 !!

Wong, I understand the frustration 'cause I feel it too. Stephanie appears to have been spending too much time in Colorado or the west coast at a dispensary tokin' everything in sight. This company MUST raise pay and maintain benefits too; they can't get drivers now. Obviously, the money to pay them isn't going to fall from a tree. Productivity and claims ratios have to improve dramatically. Service times have to improve substantially. The stock grants that senior management got are a "slap in the face" to all of us. So just who is it that is charged with assuring "equal sacrifice"? Hoffa and Soehl, two fat boys who haven't effectively done their job for a long time. We've been paying them to do their job, but they have let us down in a really big way.
A strike in 2019 will be the end of YRC; that is practically assured unless it's over with in a day. Thankfully, there are plenty of trucking jobs out there, so we hold the upper hand in negotiations. The "take" from here? Much of the senior management has to go; they have proven their incompetence. But, replace them with who?

Holland used to have what we called utility drivers. They would go from home terminal to another terminal, work the dock and return to home terminal. I think they were paid strictly hourly, but I could be wrong.We still have those drivers, they are called velocity drivers now. Paid mileage to the velocity terminal, and paid hourly for time on dock.


Doesn't really matter. Management totally ignores the work rules when it suits them, and wants to enforce work rules when it suits them. All the while Teamster brass turns a blind eye.

And Hollands operating ratio keeps getting worse.

No management ignores/no knowledge of work rules. Union members fail to enforce thru grievance machinery. Hall can’t turn blind eye if no grievance is filed. Velocity out of control bid guys are only supposed to work trailers now they are using open board as well. So far only one grievance that I know of has been filed(GB) and it was docketed to MOU committee. It will sit there till more grievances are filed on same issues to put more pressure on committee to forthcome a decision.

A return to bargaining unit employee engagement. A TM to pay bills and a supervisor to cover each shift.

Drivers to stop being sheep? Good luck. A certain non union carrier(thats supposed to be a premium carrier, no less), doesnt pay overtime, charges 100 a week for mediocre insurance, and now is making all hands book their thanksgiving and Christmas holidays off 1 year in advance, otherwise you might be eating your turkey over a steering wheel. But ask their drivers, and they gush about them....
