Randy Cammack, secretary-treasurer of Rialto-based Local 63 of the Teamsters and vice
president of Joint Council 42, the umbrella group for 144,000 Southern California members, said
the union is publicly taking a neutral stance about YRC Worldwide's request for more contract
concessions. Ultimately, the 26,000 workers who are covered by the contract will be the ones
making the decision, he said.
Cammack said that there will probably be a lot of mixed emotions on the part of the members,
pointing out that six years after the start of the Great Recession, "these are not the best of times"
for blue-collar workers in Inland Southern California.
"The feeling is, and I don't know how deep that runs, is that people are concerned about being
unemployed," Cammack said.
Cammack said some of the mixed emotions involve disappointment combined with frustration
about the company's inability to get onto solid financial footing.
"There is anger that the company has not done what it needs to do" Cammack said. "They've
made bad decisions."
