How big is 050's city board? von.6 city men laid off at 050.
67 listed which includes 1 inactive and 1 on FMLA.How big is 050's city board? von.
050 laid off 4 more city employees today. Total now stands at 10.67 listed which includes 1 inactive and 1 on FMLA.
From 1998 to 2016 they never laid off 10 people before or after the holidays. March would be the soonest they started calling you back. The city board was about 80 in July 0f 2015 my last working month. Retired in 01-01-16. The 3 & 1/2 years I have been gone has seen a lot of changes @ 050. Why did they leave Harding St & move north & pay 80 grand a month for rent? Hard to imagine they had 80 grand in expenses each month in the old terminal. You are 7 miles from Lebanon. A lot longer times if you have to go south or east of Indy. And I hear your dock is a ghost town. Now if you don't have deliveries 3 days out sitting on the dock, that explains all the space. Or, maybe you have lost so much business in central Indiana, that justifies a 67 man board. Lay offs this time a year is normal, but 10 laid off before Turkey Day is not. How many more will they cut around xmas? January, February, & March are very lean months in LTL. Wish the crew there the best. von.050 laid off 4 more city employees today. Total now stands at 10.
Fort Smith to arrive next week and stay for a month to critique everything and tell us that everything we do is wrong and this whole mess is the workers fault and it would've been a roaring success if it wasn't for the lazy inept Teamsters. Its all our fault and we all should be fired.From 1998 to 2016 they never laid off 10 people before or after the holidays. March would be the soonest they started calling you back.

I wish they would show up at 184 & actually talk to the employees, not like the eastern VP in at 10 out by 2 with no interaction with the workforce & maybe not announce when your coming so they don't have time to put the dog and pony show on....Fort Smith to arrive next week and stay for a month to critique everything and tell us that everything we do is wrong and this whole mess is the workers fault and it would've been a roaring success if it wasn't for the lazy inept Teamsters.

True. ‘Thorny’ stopped by our terminal a few years back. I was still out. Damn. “An opportunity missed is an opportunity lost.” -Ralph Waldo EmersonHah! ......”In by 10, out by 2”.........means there’s a real good chance anyone who’ll ask uncomfortable and impertinent questions.....
.......has either been dispatched, or has punched out......
