Employment suggestions for previous Yellow Freight drivers

@Chinatown
I’ve posted this too many times already
But you bring up CF and Conway again and Union issues....
Conway was created by CF in ‘82 expressly to replace CF and the teamsters
The shutdown was the end of a 20 year plan to shutter CF and it worked just at it had been drawn up..,.
The teamsters rank and file at CF refused to believe it and were convinced they could keep it from happening

Trade unions are totally different than labor unions. One of the two has outlived its usefulness.

 

conway eastern was union. the only one of conway that was. that why the closed it when they went on strike. my father drove for them out of cinnimonson nj

 

Plenty of Chicago 1099 postions that will put you in a Volvo and even issue you complimentary flip flops

 

The union bosses are in Florida at the golf resort’s planning their next move.

 

Hahahahah.....oh boy THAT was a good one!!!! You weren't SERIOUS, were you???

 

I worked with a guy who was 6 weeks short of 30 years with CF when they locked the gates. He went to every union carrier in the St. Louis MO. area, got turned down by every one, he said the union hall didn’t do #### for any of the guys. He had done all sorts for CF, city, road, dock, was even a steward for a stretch. Applied at Dayton Freight, and got hired on to the linehaul board, good driver, always on time, was a good guy. If I recall his name was Paul, but for the life of me I can’t remember his last name.

 

I've heard they have really taken off with that idea, and don't want to lose out to a company that issues junky complimentary flip flops.
