The guys drove down to Myrtle Beach SC today.
The hearing is set for 8 am tomorrow. This hearing is for a supposed violation of Article 8 section 4 of the NMFA . Unauthorized work stoppage.
I'll post more after the hearing tomorrow. Hopefully this will be thrown out and the guys will get back pay for the 30 day suspension.

You're saying they walked out? Walked off the job? If so, they got off easy with a 30 day suspension.

I hope all they get is a suspension, with a strong union like ours, oh wait forget it, what was I thinking. They may be :eck13::9529:
 
Joe, go back and read my thread titled " Article 8 section 4 coming to a terminal near you soon". You didn't understand it then either.

I can't understand why you would have 9 guys plus some union officials drive all the way to SC and have it end in a deadlock. They couldn't figure out if it was a " greivable case". Come on now it's been almost 5 months. Is this union in the company's back pocket??? They didn't even hear the case. I guess now it will be on to a National comittee since the Eastern Regional couldn't figure it out.

Let's hope this is not the second time they've been accused of such a crime

Hey CAPTAIN BOOTLICK, I mean CAPTAIN BOOTLEG, are you friends with BOXIE BOY, or are you really that much of a company boy. Sounds like to me you must be management. Go to your own management forum, you know under the desk :bowdown: looking for the bosses, "BALL POINT PEN". :9529: COME GET SOME
 
i think there might be a differance between a walk off or stoppage and just not getting the #s that the boss wanted .
as long as the were working, and in a safe manner i still dont remember reading anything in any contract of MOU that says we have to scan so many bills per hour or switch out so many trucks per hour.
i could understand maybe if they walked out but fired for not working fast enough. give us all a damned break . teamster officials need to grow a set or next time it rains run down to to local grave yard and dig up some real teamsters.

ya, copy that my friend. They fought a losing battle. There are no rules on bills/per/hour required but let's assume the bill count was way down. Now they might be screwed on the..
fair days pay for fair days work rule​

If they win they get paid retro. In the meantime they're sucking air for house money
 
just another work rule that someone thats NOT working is will to give up for us, right joe ?
 
Joe, YRC can break any rule in the NMFA and nothing happens to them. It's not worth the paper it's printed on to the workers. Why don't you go enjoy your retirement instead of keep posting your pro company statements.
 
My Take is they were "Walked Out" (Escorted)
Just because you do less one day does not mean you are working a slow down.
Putting in Dunnage,(Air bags,Cardboard,load bars)takes more time,(yes they are giving out letters for this I have one in my file)you might have forklift problems,boxes on the floor,pallets fell over,ect. many reasons that you are not as productive as they day before.
Problem is "Roadway"will fire you,suspend you ect just because they can afford to and you cannot.
So what if they pay $10,000 back pay the next guy will think about it twice before they do it.

I haven't really seen any posts where YRC actually violated the NMFA. There are a lot of perceived violations. I used to peddle with a '48 and I was hassled about taking 8 minutes to go 1 mi. Anyway if and I mean if anyone is stupid enough to play games in these times there will be a huge price to pay. If all the nay'ers had their way YRC would be gone. The union can't and won't help stupid game players
