Runawaytrain with a badge? Oh My God. Seal the hatches. Dive, dive dive. Load all tubes.Fire, fire fire.The times have changed, he’ll be riding around on one of them segways like Paul Blart.
Mr. Canary , I'm sure the numbers are all there ( as far as what labor gets and what ABF keeps ) but is there a graph or chart that puts this into perspective.I think that if this goes to an extension,...........it's just going to harden ABF employee resolve,...and bring about memories of the last putrid wreck of a filthy mess of a contract.
Especially if the ....."extension".....goes on for more than a week or so.
ABF might be playing with the proverbial fire here. We are all aware of their problems hiring, due to the last steaming heap of a contract,.....We are all aware of the national shortage of drivers for even higher paying companies,......We are all aware of the tax break for corporations which is giving ABF a 15% windfall in their tax rate,.....permanently, I might add,.....unlike the tax breaks for us common citizens that expire in 7 years....We are all aware of ABF management going on a spending and bonus spree worthy of a drunken sailor after ratification of the last smelly cesspit of a concessionary contract,....and their barely concealed smirks at our falling for their "Woe is Us, Poor Company" routine..........
All of the above considered,.....it would be EXTREMELY STUPID for the ticky-tacky corporate types to try the same tactics a second time around........
It's time for them to realize they are going to have to...PAY......for their trickery last contract.....Time for the company flacks and lawyers to cut the best deal they can, under the circumstances,.........and do it quickly........
ABF admitted last contract,....5 years ago,....that 75% of their employees were within 5 years of retirement.......
If ABF is stupid enough to try and drag out contract talks,.......they may find many of their current employees either speeding up their retirements out of disgust,....or guys quitting and going to better paying companies, whether that being either Union or non-Union companies,........or guys leaving the LTL craft altogether to work for better paying jobs inside of four walls and not behind a wheel.........
They may get a ratified agreement,....and then turn around to realize that they've lost half of their work force due to attrition and disgust............in a excrutiatingly tight Labor market.......(...Advice to ABF management:........WE Ain't in the Twentieth Century Anymore...)( You're Welcome...)

Mr. Canary , I'm sure the numbers are all there ( as far as what labor gets and what ABF keeps ) but is there a graph or chart that puts this into perspective.
For example , when the sports leagues negotiate , it usually comes out what the split of revenue is between the owners and the players.
An example
I guess as long as it is the right outcome, we won't worry about percentages for now.And now the VOTE. I'll say only 55% of you will VOTE!!! SORRY
ABF contract vote last time was 85%And now the VOTE. I'll say only 55% of you will VOTE!!! SORRY
That’s not true either%1oo is better then %85. If you don't VOTE you just said YES.
Really could care less about what you think. Just read your post all hate. We do just fine and you still keep hating. We know what we will do and won't do. You would not be anywhere near the top of the list to ask for any ideas.I understand that your retired but you don't really think that nonunion carriers, which is about all is left, would actually be circling around these so called strikers wanting to hire them do ya? I bout spilled my coffee laughing when you posted this.

Unless you’re working four 10 hour shifts it’s overtime after eight. You apparently do not work here.Ten hours a day before OVERTIME PAY START. Everyone is Right so Nobody WRONG!!!
Mad Magazine? Good one. Though with ABFer being absent, did you ask during the interview if he is on their payroll as a editor? Just wundering. von.Thank you, Sir..........but Mad Magazine has already turned me down as a publisher........
Much enjoyment of the retirement rocking chair.........
