I was just looking at all the current job openings with the company and it states they are giving a $2000 sign on bonus in most of the Pacific NW terminals. Are we really that desperate??

A Union YRC company is doing this?
Short answer: yes
Long answer: yes we are
With the available jobs at Boeing, coupled with the low rate of pay at YRC and the legalization of Cannabis, the pool of qualified drivers has dwindled significantly.

Where is the $2000.00 bonus to retain the veterans? So the new hires who usually don't know jack shi** are more more valuable than the veterans with years of experience?
At the time of the 2014 MOU our west coast local repeatedly, and with emphasis, urged all the YRC employees to find other jobs. Over the next few months the local found jobs for nearly all the younger employees. The very small number of people that have been hired since then can expect to have their rights under the contract completely ignored by management. The local simply will not return calls complaining about the matter. There does not appear to be a listing for help wanted at our terminal, though large amounts of freight is given to cartage on a daily basis.
It is on YRC web site.

I'm glad the company is trying to do something to get new guys hired on. My only question is it contractually legal to give one group of teamsters a bonus without giving everyone a bonus? I think we all deserve a lot more than $2000!

nice post. von.Here it is.
For $2000 you can position yourself between a local union that doesn't want you because you are part of the never ending drama that is YRC, and terminal management that doesn't want you because they have an unlimited, no questions asked budget for cartage, and dream of the day that the can just push a 4 inch thick stack of bills across the counter to a guy that will make it all disappear, so that they can spend the day doing as they please.
