It was required by law to disclose that the offer had been made. If the ABF Teamsters vote this contract down, therefore, in an extension situation, we will be without a contract. If YRCW suddenly purchased us, without advanced notice that their had been previous discussions, we could cry foul, and the SEC would block the deal. Some of you guys on here seem to forget that we are dealing with intelligent LAWYERS, (well that may be a stretch), but you get the idea, they are covering all the bases. Now, if we vote it down, we will be without a contract, YRCW purchases us at a bargain when the stock tanks, and we by default get their contract. In this chess match, we are now in CHECK. A NO vote will be CHECKMATE, we put the board away and we go to YRC, a YES vote and we are in STALEMATE, (a tie) we set the board back up with ABF and play another five years. Don't blink, be sure to move your King to the right square!
