Approx 21% of all LTL in America is handled by union carriers.
My guess is about 5 hours or so, as soon as electronic pickup tenders and pickup requests are rejected. All of the freight gets diverted and it collapses.
My boss just said yesterday that we would hire from Yellow if you guys end up without a job. And that's from a family owned carrier that is pretty against unions. Don't listen to the nobody will hire you guys hate.
They used to all strike because everyone was under the NMFA contract. Now everyone has separate contracts with no strike clauses written in. Teamsters strike because Companies break the contract. If Teamsters strike under a no strike contract, then it’s US breaking the contract. Won’t happen. Only thing we can do is not cross a picket line.
You will be working more than 60 hours a week….Maybe some dock time to go over 60?
One Yellow minus the midwest
Yeah I hit the dock if I have wait time.
Years ago union ltl’s were under
You’re in Indy, right? From my Preston days, I know that everyone in Indy pretty much knows everyone in the Indy Area LTL Industry’s reputations as to if they are good workers or trouble makers. They know who to hire and who not to. For instance, when Preston folded, first thing Yellow did was hire Preston’s Ops Mgr as a Dock Supervisor. Then he told them which applicants to not hire. Most of us got jobs. A few couldn’t get hired anywhere in the Indy LTL Area. Our reputation precedes us.
Those companies don’t want to help Yellow. They want competition gone. The only way they would get $$$ involved would be to buy Yellow, and doing that would be ignorant. UPS isn’t ignorant. They SOLD UPS Freight, they aren’t buying Yellow.
Even if they were still in master freight neither is in any way obligated to pay for another company. Years ago Preston & Shanahans express were allowed to run during the strike of 94 because they weren’t financial big enough to hold out….
We (Preston) should have closed on Thanksgiving 1993 (out of cash), but Yellow Corp bought us that weekend. We were on strike in 94. Churchill closed. A couple hours later Local 135 President came to our Picket Line and told us we were going back to work or we’d be next to close.
I don’t know? That’s a question only Hawkins can answer.
Used to be that way. Last Teamster frt strike was 92. All the big carriers and regionals went at the same time hence national master. Once again we have Yellow to thank for that.
Not a thing….
