You can see how he gets more brazen with each post, he should be thankful his other personality did not receive a life time ban....Most people won't forget how dishonest he was....zero credibility....

*In prior oversight reports, the commission has called into question YRC’s designation as such a company. YRC provides 68% of the Defense Department’s LTL services hauling food, electronics and other supplies domestically for the military, a task commission members have suggested could be done by other carriers.
*“The only way YRC has survived for the last 10 years is through bailouts by the government and the private equity industry,” Hill continued. He contended YRC is “staying afloat by providing the cheapest pricing,” stating that investment research shows the company charges about 18 cents per pound versus the average of its competitors, which is in the mid-20 cent range.

We can thank the Republicans saving thousands of union jobs when some people think Republicans are anti union.

Yes we all helped those drivers keep jobs, but at the cost of our own pay increases. Yrc wants to work cheap
Oh , I guess concessions from the Teamsters never had any hand in it . Pos article.

How many years has it been since the Teamsters voted to give concessions but still needed a bailout to survive. Btw the article is about Mnuchin wouldn't have done the loan, I don't know why you mentioned Teamsters concessions

think we can thank Jared Kushner (however you spell his name Trumps son in law) for having ties to the bank that made YRCs last loan......that is the reason the loan was made.....not some fantasy it was about saving union jobs
Regardless who you give credit to for the loan the government didn't have to loan the money, there was a good chance YRC would not of survived without it.So Republicans helped preserve union jobs when you hear they are anti union. BTW they also have helped put the airlines which has a big union presence

Yes , that will not change . We just don’t have the clout ( lack of more terminals) to push for much more. ( enhanced contributions not pension). Entertaining a multi employer pension fund has NEVER been on the table . Reinstating the old pension plan ( Conway ) has come up but in conjunction with 401k .im not involved in negotiations personally but this is what we’re told by those involved in information meetings
I know there’s a lot of disinformation put out by the company so hopefully this sets the record straight.

It seems like the union buster types have stopped posting. Has the company's opposition to unionization fallen off , or is something else going on?
The company continues to put one hell of a fight against unionization. They have rushed to every barn prior to a vote to fight it and to be honest have been pretty successful in their endeavors. Terminals still remain union and receive protection under Status quo and a grievance and arbitration agreement. We pay no union dues but have representation. No contract though . Will see what happens in coming months . The company feels triumphant at this point and still pushing for deserts in union locations.
The one persuaded that posted here basically had a personal axe to grind but he could return.
The company has made some gives to non union Barns but pulled them back when it didn’t work to spur on a decertification. So I don’t know what the future will bring
Much uncertainty lies ahead for all of Xpo Ltl in the coming months. A CEO who’s only concern seems to be the stock price and not service to our customers and loyalty to the hard working workers union or non union . The future holds many uncertainties.

For the jobs that have a title ( but no actual definitive explanation of the role and boundaries of power and duties ) like trainers and safety people , has there been anything done to formally address the randomness around these positions?
Like how they are awarded and who they are awarded to?
Unionization of Xpo does not mean we tell the company how to run their business plan . Union leadership has no problem with drivers being a trainer and who does it .
What you have today is what you will have tomorrow union or non union . The only things that would change is contractually Agreed pay raises , spelled out benefits and a discipline process that would allow grievances and arbitration. You would have to pay due once a month $60 .
We pretty much already work the way union shops due with seniority in job selection and Pto.
Company would have the same flexibility they always have enjoyed. So that’s not a factor .
If you think union will fix poor management of business execution you would be mistaken . Although we would benefit from a more stable workforce due to people feeling more secure in their jobs
We would not be in a similar contract to the master freight agreement.

There dosen't seem to be any disadvantages to joining a union so why is it so hard for them to get momentum here? Why dosen't more people join, what do we have to lose?
Union busters are a big part. And you have a few drivers who worked in the union and dident want to wait their turn in seniority to get the better runs & to pick better vacation times so now the union sucks to them. Why do you think the company pays big bucks to keep them out, because it would not benefit the company in any way & they know it....
