    Not at Jolly ole YRC there not! Been slow as hell here on LI! Every day one, two guys take the "pass" I did one day 2 weeks ago! Screw it! Our shop- steward got into it with the union rep over the petition fiasco!! Literally a shouting/cursing match! Great company, with a future! NOT!

    Getting a major account for us means an extra outbound pallet per week.

    ROFL, well, I guess if the pallet is loaded to the max, that might not be too bad. . .o_O

    Well basically Lone Cowboy, the Teamster pension fund is nearly broke! Millions of dollars gone in the blink of a eye! Alot of the union "lifers" are furious and dumb-founded, and feel betrayed! Oops I just saw my typo in my last post! Ha ha Our shop- stewart got into a screaming/cursing match with the Union rep last week! Doesn't give one the warm and fuzzies, if you know what I mean!:(
     
    Shaggy Thanks this.

    Not to rub salt in the wound, but its billions, with a "B".

    That would totally suck. I'd be pissed too. Do you pay into the pension like a 401k?

    I hate getting in a tractor only to discover the last person to drive it was apparently drenched in cheap cologne/perfume.

    Last night's delight was a wonderful mixture of eye watering cheap perfume and lady B.O. I'd have grabbed a different truck, but there weren't any other decent trucks left that weren't assigned or otherwise off limits. At least it wasn't raining so I could roll with the windows all the way down.
