they did it because they knew that everyone that is not working for YRC now and has a pension, or the prospects of getting a pension, will vote Yes so that the poor slobs that are left will be working for sub-standard wages and benefits, with no security, and no hope of ever having there pension increase.. or if there new guys, of ever having a pension at all. to keep working, and keep the pension funded for there monthly check.. they figure that even at 25% they will be dead and gone before the pension totally runs out of money! The Union is betting that those who are not working will stab the working man in the back to keep his pension!
