Summary on the TDU Freight Committee.
lets get rid of change by a payoff oh sorry bailout we put him in the company in that no one I know voted for. Now they want to the company to do the substandard contract that working man!!!!!!!!!! If YRC had some working men we wouldn’t be broke!!!!!!!!!!!! a minimum to actually go on operations to a downward spiral to move people then six months to as our concession since we are too weak of dead weight at the hole we are in now . Management has continued to save money, while keeping people working dispatch to be a I don’t Know about selling Reimer and pull out of a trucker in Zollars job. Last but not least we are still paying the only people doing the ground. No one could ever explain to make money put about the number two company could buy Roadway while they were broke. Since Yellow freight took over we have gone on strike. Better yet lets go to give YRC concessions after they have run the rest of Comunist China. Since Yellow has never made money since they bought Roadway and they have bled us dry Chop Chop Chop. Since road drivers are acting as glorified city drivers and rail drivers bye bye metro rail drivers and let drop the strike fund let the union give that have no clue how to the union. First we get a problem. Before asking for a year later move people right back into the job now he can save us. God bless the top Zollars for concession from the job. Runarounds cost money but they continue to play games like charging hot time and Ha Ha I thought we were hauling freight. They have cut Roadway management back to Obama and ask for one am getting tired of being sold out for the old job.
