YRC offering home daily linehaul and cdl schooling(union)

100% employer paid FAMILY benefits is huge if true. Many companies pay all of the employee cost, but almost none pay for all (or any) of the dependent cost. If true that's a good deal for a new driver.

 

I agree. but just be careful. My hubby works for a different company and is union. The past few months have been horrible with hours. If you don't work the hours, you do need to pay for benefits. He never turns down work, but just is not getting called in.

 

You do not have to join the union at the Nashville Tn location unless they are operating in violation of state law.

Might be worth applying just to see how far they push that BS.

 

you must be a newbie driver. most teamster jobs have good bennies

 

Yeah maybe not all they are cracked up to be.

New York Teamsters approve slashing benefits to retired members

 

I didn't see the last line of the ad until after I posted. It's rare in non-union shops.

 

How those crooks managed to lose money in a rising market needs to be answered in a federal courtroom. Something tells me the priority of the fund managers was not their fiduciary responsibilities.

 

It's not about market performance or fund mismanagement.

There are several reasons they lose money, including declining union membership from companies going out of business over the past several decades, retirees' longer life expectancy these days (a problem that also plagues Social Security), and reduced pension contributions from employers whose membership voted for wage and benefit concessions in an effort to keep their companies afloat.

I read once on a union bulletin board at a grocery warehouse a memo that said the Central States Pension Plan was paying out something like $3.80 for every dollar they were taking in. No amount of positive market conditions or fiduciary responsibility will ever make that kind of deficit sustainable.

 

I worked for YRC and they are they most unsafe company I ever worked for with new guys being on call. Now that said I loved the paid benefits for the family, yes they were free. YES, they sucked when you used them. Very high deductable. Crappy coverage.
