why are people like Jay C on here licking the *****************, and trying to scare the teamsters into a yes vote. You already said you dont work with us. Why dont you stay out of it, and let us teamsters discuss it privately. It would be nice if you could do this for us. Or do you g=have not a friend to talk to, so you have to keep your nose in someone else's business?
I just think it is really low to try and influence someoneabout their job, when you dont have the same things at stake....just sayin.

Now come on joe, he really does have a point. As much as it gives me pain to say this, even about a management guy like you but you've got to be the most self centered, self serving poster on here. The yes borg just don't get it, they "are" going to shutdown, no ifs, ands or buts. Thats because they want to shutdown. They want the onion out of trucking and youz yes borg and for some strange reason the onion wants it too.
That pos hoffa and "little" johnson can give you the line of bs that if you vote yes that investors(raiders)will come save the pos company. Yeah, just like a thief in the night would. Ask yourself why would they, it would still be onion and there'd always be that chance of trouble and higher costs in the future.
Of course they weren't going to shut it down immediately, theres just to much milk in the cow and more to squeeze with the yaz mas-sa vote. Have any of you called or wrote your congressman or senator? Put as much out there as you can. This crap company really needs an outside look from somebody than this self absorbed onion that only cares about the dues. As a matter of fact, take a look at their, or should I say "our" books because its "our" money, not theirs like they think. I still want to know where the onion's messiah is in all this.

Ok so the creeps in Washington are laughing at us. Hey, he won didn't he? As far as milkin the cow that is the reason everybody works here. We're supposed to rob this place not destroy it. You got milk?..I don't think so
As far as me being self centered I don't know how else I could rephrase this. I ain't worried about me..even if I take a cut 8-10 years down the road which I doubt will happen I could still go to the casino twice a week..worry about yourself,bro

A little history lesson to be learned here from just last summer: Do big trucking companies lie,cheat and steal?
Do you trust YRCW to do whats best for you? Do they even have any credibility?
ABF Vote Results- Teamsters Reject Concession Plan

ABF Freight Teamsters Reject Plan to Protect Jobs, Benefits
Teamsters employed at ABF Freight System have rejected a Wage Reduction-Job Security plan aimed at protecting the jobs of more than 7,000 workers and securing their health, welfare and pension benefits for the remainder of the National Master Freight Agreement.
Mail ballots were sent out April 30 and counted today with the process being overseen by an independent election officer. With a final count of 3764 no, 2936 yes, (a difference of 828 votes, out of 6700) the workers voted no on the plan with about 80 percent of the members affected participating in the vote.
“We took a proactive approach to help ABF get through the worst economic recession since the Great Depression, but our members have rejected the plan,” said Tyson Johnson, Director of the Teamsters National Freight Division. “The union will regroup to determine if there are other means to protect jobs and benefits. Our first priority continues to be the members’ best interests.”
Ballots were sent out to about 7,000 active employees and about 1,000 workers with recall rights. About 56% of the 6,700 employees that cast ballots, voted no.
"The current economic decline has been unprecedented in its depth and duration. Our company, including our nonunion employees, has made significant financial sacrifices during this period. It is unfortunate that our union employees have chosen not to participate in better aligning ABF's cost structure with those of its LTL competitors," said Judy R. McReynolds, Arkansas Best President and Chief Executive Officer. "Going forward, we will evaluate our various options in dealing
Wes Kemp Statement Posted At ABF Terminals:
"We’ve been officially notified that the proposed Wage Reduction-Job Security Plan failed to receive the necessary majority of votes for its passage which I deeply regret. This means we'll be forced to pursue other less desirable and less palatable solutions that will in all likelihood be more short-termed focused than the more preferable long term. That said, we certainly don't intend to give up. However, we need everyone to step up and render unprecedented effort in performing your jobs. I remind you that a 15% improvement in productivity can deliver essentially the same benefit to the company as a 15% wage cut. Consequently, I urge you to go about your duties as the professionals you are and strive to perform every task as promptly, precisely, cooperatively, and safely as possible."

the sky does not seem to be falling at A.B.F. If it does, i will move on.The union has given myself and my family a good living, however, we live below our means, and i will find a way to support my family. Truck driving is not the only option out there. Vote how you will. and live with how you vote. I got countless phone calls , mail and e-mails from the Teamsters about our gloom and doom, i voted no and was prepared for what was (or is still ) to come. Let Tyson and Jimmy take a huge pay & benefit cut , then see how they feel about everything going on. It is easy to say "sacrifice" when you are not the one doing it. It seems that as long as the dues are coming in then the Teamsters are all for any sacrifice!!!

The thing that gets me is ABF operates under the same NMFA as we do, their operation and management is much more proficient than YRC. Lesson learned here is it wasn't us that put us in this situation the **** poor YRC management is at fault why aren't they addressing that. You just can't fix stupidity cause they think they're doing the right thing

They will not make us return from our LOA, they will just terminate us, if this vote passes it will effectively eliminate the LOA part of the last MOU. This is just one reson I wm voting against it.
