Yellow | Yrcw National Contract 2019-2024

If it passes, mark my words, they’ll come back within the 5 year period, and ask for a pay cut again. This just limps them down the road a bit, till they think it’s the right time to pull it. Good luck to all.

I think so too, they need to turn a billion in profit over 5 years to pay for this. Don’t see how it will happen, even more so if the economy takes a ::shit::.
 
This is just my opinion but the only way to possibly have a positive outcome is to use the pension payments or possibly a 401k option to make YRC employee owned. The employees would then have voting rights as stockholders and a ownership attitude towards doing their jobs and running the company.

Respectfully, I don’t care to own any of this place. It’s a dinosaur that has well outlived it’s usefulness.
 
Even with that said I’m guessing the stuffed shirts in Overland Park would cringe at having to answer to a bunch of truck driving owners at the annual meeting...
Wouldn't that be the ideal situation rather than them thumbing their noses at the employees? I'm not talking about sham stock options. I'm talking about a real ESPP maybe at a slight discount and using some or all of the pension funds. What would you have to lose especially if you are in Central States? Your BA is still getting his 3 pensions.

I assume the IBT will be hiring a new employee to monitor the 26% across the country?

I’m not sure if that’s correct, it’s my understanding that if more than half the voting members vote, then it is majority wins. However, if less than half the voting members vote, then it takes 2/3’s of the votes to decline or accept. The caveat being, it’s been, of late, imposed with less than 2/3’s rejections.

Exactly what my BA said and if they dont manage better they will go out of business within 5 yrs anyway!
