For the five-year labor contract which began on April 1, 2008, ABF decided not to bargain with YRC and Holland.
In an August 2007 letter, Bob Davidson, former CEO of ABF, stated, “ABF will not consider itself bound to any such agreement reached between TMI and the IBT.”
In another August 2007 letter to the Teamsters, Davidson stated “[ABF] hereby gives notice that it will conduct future negotiations directly with the [IBT] in order to enter into a new collective bargaining agreement applicably only to ABF.”
ABF then dropped out of our negotiations of the 2008 contract and never became a party to our contract. Later, ABF was unable to negotiate a deal of their own and decided to enter into a contract with their employees that we have been told was on the same terms as the agreement that YRC and Holland had negotiated. We are not a party to their labor contract with their employees.
Now GFYs ABF
