Canada should NOT even be able to vote ,they are not USA citizens or pay taxes , what's next for Hoffa go to China and get the factory workers to join union ??
Here's the only reason I need to have MY vote in the general election. Read all of section (b) and (c) and understand that all American YRCW employees covered by the NMFA voted to take my right to vote away when they forced Equal Sacrifce upon us without us having any say at the negotiating table. I'm a dues paying member and a large percentage of my dues goes to the U.S. to pay for Affiliation costs to the Teamsters Union.
9.
Equal Sacrifice of Non-Bargaining Unit Employees and their Participation.
(a) All non-bargaining unit employees (including management) will participate equally in the Restructuring Plan, and the Employer will share the burden of sacrifices among all IBT bargaining unit and non-bargaining unit employees (including management), in each case, as described in this
Section 9(a). The Employer must reduce the total compensation (defined as wages plus health and welfare and pension or retirement benefits) of all non-bargaining unit employees (including management) by the same percentage reduction (an “Equal Reduction”) in total compensation as is being applied to IBT bargaining unit employees consistent with the Prior Plan.
As of the Effective Date, each Employer will have made permanent the wage reductions originally in the Prior Plan. During the Non-Permanent Pension Contribution Termination Period, the Employer will be prohibited from making any contributions to Employer provided retirement or pension plans, 401(k) accounts or other retirement vehicles including any defined contribution or defined benefit plans for non–bargaining unit employees (including management), to the extent applicable law permits and subject to fiduciary obligations. The Employer agrees not to increase wages (including bonuses) and benefits of current non-bargaining unit employees (including management) as an overall percentage beyond the effective overall total compensation percentage increases to be received by the bargaining unit employees. This shall not prevent the Employer from paying variable, performance based compensation as the Employer has paid in past practice. This shall also not prevent the Employer from providing targeted increases to individual employees if necessary, in Employer’s judgment, to operate the business so long as the overall total compensation increases are within the effective overall total compensation percentage increases to be received by the bargaining unit employees. If it becomes necessary to exceed this overall percentage increase limit to retain employees for the efficient continued operation of the business, the Employer would request approval from the Subcommittee.
In addition to the nonunion employees’ sacrifices mentioned above, the Employer shall have reduced the nonunion employees’ headcount and other costs to have created at least $160 million in annualized savings related to this Restructuring Plan.
(b) All remaining non-Teamsters union represented employees of YRC, Reddaway, YRC Glen Moore, and YRC Reimer shall share equal sacrifice in total compensation as those employees covered by NMFA collective bargaining agreements. To that end, it is agreed that immediately upon the Teamster-represented employees of these respective bargaining units voting to accept the conditions in this Restructuring Plan, to achieve such equal sacrifice, the equivalent equal sacrifice reductions shall be imposed on non-Teamster represented union employees of those same operating companies. The Employer and TNFINC shall cooperate in achieving the equal sacrifice among Canadian employees of Reimer, and recognize such efforts must be in compliance with applicable Canadian federal and provincial law.
(c) The Employer and TNFINC agree to use their reasonable best efforts to achieve equal sacrifice in total compensation of the employees covered by non-Teamster and non-NMFA collective bargaining agreements.
