YRC employees just put the trucking industry back 50 years, I can understand they want a job, but to sell out all the men over the years that sacrificed everything, went on strickes, walkouts, and hung onto their pride to get what we all have today only to have a few, give it all away in one vote. None of you cared what a yes vote will do to all of the trucking industry both union and non union. You only cared about yourself. ( hoary for me and f---k you ). I don't want any of you to come to me whinny about anything.
This is poetic justice in a twisted way. For instance, anyone you talk to says that the union is not needed and all the struggles in the past will be taken into consideration by our god the corporations (ya know they love you labor fellers), they will make sure they provide for their faithful humble employee's.
Fear not, because all those so called labor laws are on the books and no one would dare screw them up (yeah, right).
The unions have their day and are no longer needed (so they say).
Then why is everyone so damn scared about this vote? Hmmm? Could it be, maybe that the entire industry is in for a rude awakening?
We were first but I have to admit we're still here to contend with and won't be gone so quick. But in the mean time get ready for some concessions for the non-union people. But, Hey, let's blame it on those chickens at YRCW.
For years everyone sucked the toes of Ronald Reagan and thought he was the best thing since gravy but look at history and say the same thing when he took office the union employment level was at 28% in the private sector.
Today, it's less than 7% and going down fast.
This was a vote for "Survival" until all the tea bagger freaks can come back to earth and realize reality and see, these corporations have no mind, no heart, no soul, and are only motivated by their lord and saviour called "Profit", and will lie cheat and steal elections to acheive their end in their favor, then we will be all working for third world wages.
I can go on and on but don't really give a $#!T because it will take a complete melt down for people to wake up and quit ki$$ing A$$ of these corporate pigs.
You will not be the CEO and you will not be the owner of a major corp. you are a worker bee and face it, if you don't have a golden spoon in your mouth, it ain't happening dude. Wake up.
Thanks to all that had some common sense in this and not let this company go down in flames!
You will however have changed the lives of many non-unions with this vot by bringing down their rate of pay and with that, maybe (I doubt it though) they will see we still set the standard for the industry... who's next?
Hmmm I'm on a rant but I'm glad to see we wer'nt suckered into voting our jobs out the window....
We are not as strong as we used to be, but.... WE WILL BE BACK AND YOU ARE ALL INVITED TO JOIN IF YOU HAVN'T BEEN BRAINWASHED BY THE POLITICIANS!
HA, HA, HA, We still have the last laugh, in the past there were other means to fight, today they have de-nutted us since the great amnesia prez Reagan... but were are here and he is GONE!
