Yellow blames Teamsters leadership for negotiating in ‘bad faith’
"What if" they offered on a proposal that they give back pension and $5 raise for 3 weeks of vacation? You wouldn't want the pension and the raise?
It’s selective hearing syndrome. For example
If an employee told a Yeller executive his mother wears combat boots he hears an employee likes his mothers combat boots.
If we vote and it’s no are they going to cancel the COO ? No.
And they are always death spiral until they are taking huge bonuses.
If the Only way to stay in business is to screw employees who have given a lot to keep them open then shut it down. They can easily do the COO without screwing employees.
Take some casualties? We took the hit on the pension, we endured the 15 percent pay cut, we worked through Covid and our UNIONS carried the cost of our healthcare during Covid because Yeller didn’t have the money. We had 35000 teamsters employed here a few years ago down to 22000 now. We gave them new job classifications every COO they wanted. Take some casualties? We have.
That will never happen my friend.
I have read your posts for some time and I seem to remember you supporting the bail out you hypocrite.... Does this sound familiar?
"As wrong as it is, I hope that's true. I've lost $868 a month since August 2019. But seeing is believing. Four months to make application and who knows how long to get approved before any money goes to anyone." That is from a post of yours...you don't like it but you hope to get that money.....you should have said you oppose anyone getting help other than you....

The teamsters at those other companies aren't on here telling people to settle for less that is the difference.....

See what happens after this shows intermission
Possibly not but what if, would you?
with 701, took a 52% hit thought that was bad, 66% WOW!Unfortunately I have read your older posts. Makes me sad to see what has become of a "former Teamster brother". I lost 66% of my TRucking Employees Of North Jersey Pension and I am happier than a pig inthat the government righted a wrong to retired people who earned those pensions. Yellow will never compete with Fed Ex anymore, you know that and so does everyone else. But the banks and the greedy upper management still see that there is more dollars to squeeze out of this pig. Give backs it worked before it will work again is their thinking, but I feel the rank and file has finally had it and will call their bluff.
I'm retired it's not my call. I've made my decisions at Companies looking for givebacks. I left them. Ryder/PIE started an ESOP, I wouldn't participate. Had a one on one with a VP at our terminal, he asked me why I would let down my fellow employees and not give back 15% of my pay. I told him I am not forcing anybody to give back their money to the company but when you give back 15% of your salary back I will think about it. His name was Leo Suggs, Seabreeze would probably remember him. He then told me the ESOP was only for union members and I told him thanks then I'll pass. Left, next stop Roadway. Everything was fine until the Yellow Dog showed up. 15% later and no pension contributions for 18 months and I retired from there. I always believed in the saying " a fair days work for a fair days pay" so when they want give backs they didn't want me. So I guess my answer to you is no, you will have to make your own decision. Good luck in whatever you choose.
Yes we lost 2/3rds of our pensions but thank God it was only for 1 year.
Glad it worked out for you, we took the hit for almost 3 years, but got it all back in retro check.
We had 74 listed men in 2007. Right now we have 22

That is indeed from a post of mine. Nowhere does it say I support the bailout.
Did I refuse the money, of course not! I took $35,000 in back payments, rolled to an IRA and paid no taxes on it.
The taxpayer should not be paying $20.43 (3500 a month for 12 months divided by 52 weeks) per hour for my pension they had no part in negotiating. Posters here blast corporate welfare but have no problem taking welfare for unions. At the very least, there should be a reduction on people like me, who are getting pension benefits from the orphan companies.
Then why did Yrc do away with the velocity drivers they had a couple years back? What is going to be different this time….
I'm thankful you don't have anything to do with a reduction.
I sure do not put myself in your class, I'm looking for a raise, not a reduction, squirrel gravy 3 times a day gets old.
If you're getting too much money, send a little my way to help maintain my lavish lifestyle.
When you said you hope its true, that is support of it....
I was actually going to ask the same thing....
