I never met a union officer at any level that was not pro company. Everyone knows that it's the employer, not the union that writes the paychecks. Freight is not a constant business. We own nothing on the truck. The business depends on waiting for the phone to ring. We do not control when and how much is shipped. Transportation services must be flexible and efficient. That means having enough labor to handle peak business levels but not paying expensive benefits for full time extra employees who work less than a full week in slower times. The shipper demands on time, damage free service at the lowest possible cost. If YRC is going to have freight on it's trucks, YRC must be competitive. To be competitive, unionized companies must reduce operating costs. What is a service company's largest expense? It's labor.
