Mr. Hoffa could put all this business to rest...if he took this stand...and the membership stood with him....with a statement more like this....Let this Great and Proud Union of hardworking members put you Mr. Welch, and your financiers, on NOTICE, Please, by all means, strike whatever deal you desire, that you feel is best, for the companies shareholders, but, be sure, on that very day, at whatever hour that the SEC approves the deal for a virtually defunct company, except for the sacrifices of the Union membership, to buy a solvent competitor, that also employs our members, I will personally approve a walkout of all members, until all members of record that were laid off by YRC are paid full back wages at the original NMFA standards, and furthermore, all full pension contributions due those members are paid into the pension fund coffers. Then and only then will these companies resume operations, and any merger of YRC and ABF will fall under the guidelines of the original NMFA contract that was opened for renegotiation to save YRCW. You good folks have a nice Wall Street day! Tell Mr. DEEP POCKETS to pay up or LOCK THE GATES! Of course, that would be the end of the Ponzi scheme, so we all know that will never happen!
