So the workers are supposed to take a cut so the managers can make more huh? Wow, you sure have it all figured out By the way did the automakers agree to the terms of the contract or did the union just unilaterally decree them? It's a two way street What really happened was we allowed the automakers to ship the manufacturing to Mexico for 10 dollars an hour
while people like you cheered them on while your fellow American workers were getting screwed. Once again, brainwashed I'm glad you have set an arbitrary income limit for all workers at 60 thousand a year I'm sure you've got a limit for management too, right?
Yrc circling the drain again ?

bzinger Thanks this.

I don’t think they’ve totally outlived their usefulness. Unfortunately some places do have problems with favoritism and management personnel with personal vendettas. Anyone who thinks this doesn’t happen has their head in the sand.
Unions do their best work when they limit themselves to the aforementioned issues. The problem I have is when they get into wage and compensation issues. I don’t believe in strangling the golden goose.Mike2633, BJW, Brettj3876 and 5 others Thank this. -
It wasnt my intent to start the pro/anti union debate here and I'm neutral on the subject.
I'm an owner op but I dont begrudge unions ..what's works for you is fine with me but I hate seeing anyone lose they're jobs including YRC employees.
They've been down a tough road mostly due to poor management I believe.
ABF is union and they are thriving .
Was interesting to see in the article that the Teamsters have gone from 500,000 members at they're peak in the 70s to about 50,000 members now due to bankruptcies and acquisitions. -
in this instance, i believe they have long ago, bitten off more than they can chew...now they are the "chewee's".......
many union companies bled the companies dry.
i worked for one union shop, glad i left, but then too, it was not a teamsters union.
i think the unions have lost thier leverage.
was a time when the teamsters had the companies by the "short hairs"
case in point, the teamsters/Hasbro toy company
they pulled a wildcat strike, at the wrong time..all the toys were shipped before christmas.
i think this goes back the the late 1980's
they had NO leverage, and LOST benefits, like retiring after 25 years, no matter your age...
they lost some health benefits.
after the walk out was settled?
they could not retire at an early age...and reap the pension
they had to start paying into their health care..
i was good friends with a Hasbro driver....he cried that he could not retire at 40, but at 62 instead, and to get his pension, at 65...!!!!Rusty Trombone, MACK E-6 and bzinger Thank this. -
Retire at 40?!?
Amazing.
I’ll be thankful if I can “retire” at all. -
Glenn Moore and Jevic come to mind .Mike2633 Thanks this. -
