this proposal is so ludicrous, it is assumed to overwhelmingly fail, of course. ABF knows this.
a 7 % cut to $1500 check =$105 less per week. $420 less per month. lol
So, they'll chop some off it off back at the table,bring 75% of the bad stuff back,and the naive members might buy the next proposed scam.
Previously, ABF asked for a 15% PAYCUT. they nearly got it by merely asking.
these locals OVERWHELMINGLY demanded their pay be cut by 15%:
LOCAL 171 55 to 3 lol
LOCAL 492 145 to 86
LOCAL 670 24 TO 1 lol
LOCAL 61 8 to 0
LOCAL 657 43 to 17
(note that after the vote narrowly failed, ARK BEST purchased Panther and ABF hired more employees)
I caution all voting members to be weary of company scare tactics and propaganda. (thats what it all is)
I am aware that most of my brothers wish to do the right thing for their families, and wish to try to help the company be profitable and healthy.
However, we union members mirror the general population in that these observations are always true:
PEOPLE ARE SUCKERS .
PEOPLE LOVE to be SCAMMED.
PEOPLE LIKE TO FEEL LIKE WINNERS.
2 or 3 trips back to the table and voting members start feeling like winners, more likely to vote YES on each successive modified proposal.
Are YOU a sucker? VOTE NO then, VOTE NO again. (repeat previous steps until you are ahead))
