YEP!So he's going to finish them off?
No.
If they should close we had little to do with it
Just like the government.
They took out more money than they could pay back.....and expect everybody else to sacrifice for a few to make out like bandits
They know the contract.
They know what they did and what could happen by writing it as they wrote it.
Anybody that doesn't understand that Yellow has been operating with an albatross around its neck for almost 20 years is delusional. Bad decisions made back then have put them in this position and there's no easy answer to the problem. In a sick way I almost hope the wise guys who say "shut them down" get their wish. (Not really, I never want to see a company shut down and people lose their jobs).yellow is use to the Union rolling on to its back and getting it belly scratched… well times are a changing
I’m not looking for it to be shut down … but enough is enough… stop giving out the golden parachutes to their buddies and crying poor out the other side of their mouth … yellow is a parasite that feeds off anything it gets it’s claws into … been here to long and invested far to many years to start over againAnybody that doesn't understand that Yellow has been operating with an albatross around its neck for almost 20 years is delusional.

One Yellow super regional carrierSo just trying to understand. Presently there is utility language in our contract where the company could make drivers drive and work the dock. Also, from what I'm told, Holland has some road drivers working the dock at some terminals and are under the " Designated Terminal Driver " title right now. If this is true, what NEW classifications are being created ,from the IBT point of view?
I like your sarcasm....lolLooks like union and company wants to put it to membership......
They know Yellow will get what they want that way.
Maybe they can get us to pull 5 trailers for nothing.
It'll be great.
Maybe put us all on call and only call who they need each day...that'd be great too. Put us on road, city, dock....whatever.
Either way if it goes to vote...the company knows who they have voting and will get what they want.
Exactly!Looks like union and company wants to put it to membership......

Isn't that the way it should be, the membership gets to vote and decide?Looks like union and company wants to put it to membership......

Isn't this was the teamsters did with another carrier?

One way, in one form or another, this Change will get through. All the barking at each other is just that, barking. This companies, outdated freight handling methods, linehaul network , and ancient yard procedures, coupled with a lot of changes within top management in the last 20 years, has not helped either. Changes being made right now, like in Milwaukee, and Cincinnati, will continue to happen, because of too much duplication, and lower freight levels. Not saying anyone should accept any proposal thrown at them, but look at the big picture and decide if you want to continue here, or make the decision to move on.Anybody that doesn't understand that Yellow has been operating with an albatross around its neck for almost 20 years is delusional.

But why would they.? the locals have are ready spoke this change sux as is. The union does not want the employees or the company waste there time!Isn't that the way it should be, the membership gets to vote and decide?
If they didnt think the members would vote for it ...there would be no vote.
That was the result of the meeting.
No smoking allowed anymore.
Insurance companies lose money...we can't have that
