ABF | Contract negotiation updates
- Thread starter WeRdoomed
- Start date
Company guys… something about those company guys.
BA was in today. He thinks they’re currently caught up on wages. Told us the first offer was supposed to be done by last week. Not optimistic about any hourly rate above 30. Telling us we make $46/hr now. Mentioned conference call with Yellow was encouraging that the IBT stood strong over there.
What do you mean by currently caught up on wages ?

Your BA may or may not have heard something, but unless he is on the negotiating committee, chances are good that what he told you is an “opinion” only. My business agent as well as 1FVettes local president is on the negotiating committee. That committee is under a gag order to say nothing until there is a contract ready to present. I am tight with my BA, and he has told me not to even ask about any info.
That being said, if the offer is not at least a $3.50 to $4.00 per hour bump the first year, I don’t think it will ever pass. But that is just my “opinion”!!!
A $4.00 an hour bump would cost the company roughly $70 to 75 million a year based on a 40-hour week ($4.00p/h X 2080-hours X 8400-employees). Adding two dollars per hour to the pension/Health&Welfare contribution would cost them another $35 million per year. Bear in mind that ABF’s operating income for 2021 was $260 million followed with a $381 million operating income for 2022.
Bad news BROTHER !! Party’s over .At Yellow terminals we are seen an increase of freight flow, forcing all CDL holders to P & D and other shuttling bids here in the west...
Expecting another 20% of increasing freight flow by the end of June.

I would not think they would take that away, but we will have to wait until next week to see the new contract and what all was gained or taken away!!!

Did this info come from a good source or is it Road/City/Dock gossip?

The sick days and the holidays would fall under the Supplements. So, which Supplement(s) would this be?
3.50 and .60 is likely a no vote for me......24.41 in 2012 would be 31.68 in today's dollars....so anything that doesn't get me close to that with yearly raises of at least a dollar is a no...

What about COLA. Is it capped at 6 cents per hour instead of 5 cents per hour??? That would be a 20% increase.

My husband definitely would be a no vote we are from Western. If that's as good as it gets. I had better get boxes I was promised a house sale and a move out of state. No more pension chasing for this wife. None of us really know right???
