I encourage everyone to go to the meetings too. All that I ask is to go there with an open mind and just see if anyone tries to sway your vote in one way or the other. I'll admit that I'm trying to get a no vote but atleast I admit it. One thing that you won't find out there is that in 1988 when ABF was in debt in the tune of 390 million from that hostile takeover,Young only asked for a 10% giveback, now in 2010, they( ABF and Tyson) are asking for a 15% giveback when they have 184 million cash reserve. This I can prove,I still have the agreement.They needed 75% of the vote back then and it didn't pass but guess what,they flourished anyway and became the company they are today.I know ABF and they are all business and will look to get that almighty dollar any way that they can,even taking it from our pockets if we are willing to give it to them.
