It is cool to see the one that are pushing for barns to vote going off the rails. When the vote doesn't go there way they use words like "Sellouts" "Betrayed". The one thing I will always respect is one right to cast their vote as THEY see fit for them. I may, and may not agree with the way they voted but will stand up for there right to vote. Hollywoodz gets on here and blast the NO voters. Why? Why is blasting them? He is just showing the standard union thug mentally that I have seen some many times before. You will do and think like we want you too. Is it he mad that he was lie too, could be.
If you read my post on this topic and you cared enough to post something accurate, you would have acknowledged that I offered my respect for the 5 "no" voters . as it was their conviction from the beginning to vote no. I blasted the 4 who changed their vote for money. I'm not demanding that anyone think like I want them to. I am encouraging them to think for themselves. Thug mentality...really? You have no idea.
 
Took this to mean that you thought them cowards. A coward being a person lacking courage.

No, not cowards. I stand by the rest of it.

What make you think they change there vote for money. The company didn't tell them if you vote YES you wont get a raise did they? Maybe those 4 were just string you along and told you yes so they would just be left alone. You believe just want they told you and when the curtain closed on that voting booth they cast there vote with what they believed. No here know the real reason why any of them voted the way they did.
You standing there all high on you horse calling them sellouts, and betrayers just show you have no respect for there right to cast there vote in the way they see fit. Or in you own words "I am encouraging them to think for themselves." well hell I think they just did.
I have followed this thread for a long time and at no time can I recall anyone call you a Sellout, or and other name for voting YES.
You saying or calling out anyone that voted different then what they told you just truly shows us your union thug mentally.
 
Have you talked to Sucker666? You should- he seems to disagree with that line of reasoning:
Not that I feel I need to explain my post but I was referring directly to Flys examples of 2 other company’s that were doing the same practice of misclassifying its drivers . He put forth 2 links that showed 2 other companies doing the same illegal practice as Xpo was just convicted of. So his 2 examples and saying everyone else is doing doesn’t make it right for Xpo . We live in a time where we are giving many political and business leaders a pass on breaking the law and it seems with some that’s ok as long as it fits your agenda.
 
Do you honestly believe that XPO created and approved all of those raises, across the company, in three weeks, in the fourth quarter of the year, just for 17 people? Again, hubris is a Teamster.
Again , the bonus pay raise is different then the geo zone raise. The geo zone raise did not affect a lot of terminals . Only the one time bonus replacement was company wide.

The company gave them a 1.10 per hour raise just 2 days before the vote. If you don't find that suspicious, I don't know what else to say. Why didn't they offer the raise in October or November?

No one's called me a sellout, because I'm not a sellout. No one paid me to vote yes. I saw what was happening, I received zero results when I brought these issues to management and I turned to union representation as a solution. I never was a no. I never changed my position or my vote. Right?
 
Let's get something straight I work at xrn I never whined or cried about the vote I posted the truth as I witnessed it. I never said sellouts or betrayed unless you work there maybe you should be a little more considerate of the truth

FINAL WORD from me on this. My understanding was and is that on Friday, your barn stood at 12 votes yes and 5 votes no. On Monday, the company announced at 1.10 per hour raise. On Wednesday, 4 drivers switched their vote. If that is accurate, then I stand by everything I have said. If it is NOT accurate, then I have to stand corrected. DONE!!!

You are correct

Never directed towards you
 
You have the same opportunity. You should have the same OT and don't. I hadn't broken out the calculator to come up with that. But the math I used there is $.34 x 40 x 52 for $707.2. Then $.34 x 15 x 52 for $265.2 265.2 + 707.2 = $973.4 which I called $1000. I didn't do the next step which would have been …. $.34 x 1.5 = $.51 x 15 x 52 = $397.8. But you guys do get OT after 50 so that makes this worse. Now I am doing some ridiculous word problem from junior high. Because it's only the first 10 hours of OT that are different. So, $.34 x 10 x 52 = $176.8 and $.34 x 1.5 x 10 x 52 = $265.2 for a difference of $88.4. And now I hate you for having done all of this. So the next time you cry about your situation I will go back to letting you know what an ignorant confederate asshat you are and that you are more than welcome to come out of the stone ages and have a home and job up north here you dummy.
Dummy asshat?? Not hardly. Some people look at things based off dollar signs as you do. Some people look at things based off principle, but when you already receive this due to your privilege, you just don't understand.
No way could I ever live up north.....your food sucks.
 
You are correct
And you work out of the that barn correct? Not fly ,not highspeed , not Gene . Thank you for your first hand account. Case closed.
They sold out for the quick buck.

P.s. I did not say they were horrible human beings , low life’s or idiots . It’s their choice. They just settled for less IMHO.

I don't know. I was all wrapped up in Rockaway.

You don't know? You posted about it pretty enthusiastically- that it was evidence the unions aren't fading away, and now you have no information about the only other XPO petition in existence while you were "wrapped up in Rockaway"? I find that hard to believe.
 
Its easy to stand by a watch but nothing worth anything was ever gained by doing so . Real gains are made by people how push for it.

Well, believe it or not, it's true. I was focused on Rockaway. I will ask on Monday, when we have another negotiation meeting. I'll let you know...or maybe you know already.

Unions are making a comeback thanks to the unbridled greed of global corporations. It took 40 years of Reganomics to get us where we are today. It may take another 40 to bring us back. Let's see, I'll be 106. Wish me luck.
 
What value is there in listening to an issue, then doing nothing about it.

Because most people learn, usually when they are very young, that you don't get everything you ask for- but that doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't ask.

Am I to understand you have an issue with the Insurance Comparison? What is it that concerns you?

I told you already. If a union card is part of the deal, there is no deal. You can make any chart you want. Show me that they'll pay ME to have insurance and I'll still tell you where you can file it.
 
Magician works out of that barn

Good for you, it’s safe to say your just morally opposed to unions and workers rights and having a say in the employment terms ?
