To: All YRC Worldwide employees
From: Mike Smid, president-YRC Inc. and chief operations officer-YRC Worldwide
As you may be aware, new speculation from analysts and others is currently circulating about YRC Worldwide conversations with International Brotherhood of Teamsters leadership.
In May, we announced the formation of joint committees between IBT leaders and YRC Worldwide. These working groups have been and continue to be in proactive discussions to address our competitive presence. At this time, we do not have any new details to announce about the continuing committee work, but you need to know that our discussions are ongoing.
The execution of our comprehensive plan is designed to create opportunities and success for all of the employees of YRC Worldwide. We’re working in partnership with the IBT because we have a common interest to aggressively strengthen the position of our company and stimulate jobs.
As always, the most important thing we each can do is focus squarely on our customers and our ultimate aspiration to create an exceptional customer experience. Providing the service that every customer needs and expects to successfully manage their business is job #1 for all of us. Your commitment to professionalism with every shipment, every interaction and at every touch point is appreciated – and is the foundation for our shared success.
We’ll be in touch with future updates.
Thank you,
Mike Smid
