Yellow trucking going on strike!!

Got home and saw a letter from work. I was like maybe the layoff is o er. Maybe a Christmas bonus!! No it says yellow has not been paying insurance or into the pension and is actually 50 million behind. I’m like I’ll go to work and find out and when I get there everyone had emptied their lockers and no one was there. 300000 people on strike and rumor is the doors may close on Monday!! I loved this place. They sent me traveling and gave me double time on Sundays! 100% insurance paid! Now the doors may close over night 😭

Man I remember the other day you made a thread about something weird going on with your job and trucking.

Also saw a viral video of some dude going off because they stopped paying pension insurance and he worked there 30 years.

Sorry to hear bro.

Yeah that’s where I work. It’s all big black dudes where I’m at. They were all surprisingly calm yesterday but I heard they parked All the trailers blocking the entire building today. No one getting in there. We have people one year away from pension and they haven’t even been paying it. Some people claim Sean O’Brien will land a late Hail Mary pass or something but the ceo acts like he wants to close the place down. 30000 jobs. Wow

I used to be a dock worker at yellow when I was 18 before I got into the trades, it was a good job but the teamsters ruined that company with their bullshyt. I remember seeing the old guys getting pissed and go trash pallets of electronic shyt then laugh about it.

I knew this was going to happen sooner or later.

Definitely a lot of childish ****. Like if I clock in before a guy of seniority they have a giant meeting and he will get paid. People do stupid ****. The money is too good to have to do that stuff though imo. Like I had a few checks over 2000 and sometimes you can work double time up to 14 hours. Like wtf but there are always chances of layoffs and there are no warnings

Well hopefully everything pulls through, I know a lot of families rely on yellow staying open.

I originally worked at holland. Ironically it was dominant black when I got hired but very strict and professional. Like these guys don’t play. They even guard each others cars on break and it was an honor to work with them and be considered A brother of the union. As soon as yellow toon over I got paid more abd got to travel and even get overtime but they just toss money around like nothing abd restdoyed Holland. We lost all of ur customers. If someone was to buy holland it’s a gold mine. It’s actually hard to get a job there. I had to work part time for 6 years before they hired me full time. Yellow will hire anyone

Dude I was talking to one of the drivers a while ago and he was working for holland forever. He got fired when Yellow took over. Said they fired all the Holland truck drivers, then tried to hire them back only part time lmao. They obviously gave all the work to their own drivers instead of Holland. I haven't seen him since, and he said he was going and getting a new job because fuk Yellow.

Road Runner is an absolute fooking chit show right now and I'm pretty sure we're going to drop them. Every truck line is going to chit. Everyone is quitting and then they're just hiring anyone.

Yeah we don’t even have a 401k. My other buddy works at old dominion and he is super rich now and I’m supposed to draw on a sign or something. I could have worked today but my gf wanted to see me so we dranking and ****ing. The pension was what the big argument was about. Work 20 years and only get 2000 dollars.

I’ve been doing this type work for like 15 years. At holland you have to fix the lifts just to use them and close everything down. At yellow I could probably duck off in a corner and jerk my meat and no one would notice

There doesn't seem to be much optimism.


Central States Pension and Health Funds, which covers about half of Yellow’s Teamster employees, informed them Monday that Yellow missed its June contribution and would withhold its July contribution. If these payments are not cured, employee pension accruals and health care coverage will end Sunday and the Teamsters union has issued a notice that it could strike Monday.

Yellow said it requested a two-month deferral of the contributions last month, with no interruption in employee coverage. The funds denied the request.

*****

One Yellow truck driver based in Minneapolis said he and his colleagues have felt “a little anxiety and uncertainty” about the company shuttering.

“If there is a strike, the company is likely done,” the Minneapolis truck driver said. “If people pull their freight, we’re going to be in big trouble.”

Another Yellow truck driver in Washington state said his terminal will continue working on Monday as employees there are not covered by the Central States plan. Still, he believes a strike would force the whole company into bankruptcy.

“I put in 23-plus years at this company,” the Washington-based driver said. “I am concerned about having to start over somewhere and relearn something again, but I guess that’s the way it would have to be.”
The company says it's the union and the union says it's the company.
“We are as frustrated as our employees,” a Yellow spokesperson said in a statement on Friday. “Yellow has tried for nine months to meet with IBT leadership to discuss pay increases for our employees and the future of One Yellow. We have made numerous offers over several months to increase wages. The most recent offer included nearly an $11 increase in total compensation over the five year contract, yet the union never brought that offer to its members. That’s the height of irresponsibility, especially when 30,000 jobs are at stake and our union employees pay a combined $15 million in annual dues to an IBT that is not representing their best interests. We continue to do everything we can to fight for our employees’ jobs. We are not giving up.”

A Teamsters representative said the union “will do everything possible to protect and support our members.”

“If there is a shutdown, it will be Yellow Corp.’s own doing,” the spokesperson said in a statement on Friday. “Our members understand this and are furious that the company continues to misguide workers and mismanage this company into the ground. They have put themselves in this position at the expense of thousands of hardworking Teamster families.”

******

In its next phase of integration, Yellow aims to convert nearly 1,000 truck drivers into a new job called “utility driver”; this may reduce their pay and would substantially change their job duties. (Yellow said 400 drivers have already converted to utility driver.) To make these changes, Teamsters instructed Yellow to reopen the current contract early and engage in a full collective bargaining process.

The Teamsters union has blocked those consolidation attempts. Yellow claimed that the union’s refusal to continue negotiations on One Yellow changes put the company’s financial future in jeopardy.
Past that it says many drivers are just quitting rather than deal with the uncertainty.

Happened to one of my best friend's dad.

He was maybe two years from retiring from steel mill and owners packed up and snuck off.

He had to start back at the bottom rung of another place and worked for essentially the rest of his life until he got stomach cancer and died.

It's happening all over the industry.

And then places are also testing self-driving trucks.

The future isn't looking very good in that industry, in 10-20 years it's going to be really bad like majority of truck driving jobs won't exist.
