Out of a job yet?? Keep supporting unions and you will be. They had their place many years ago but have long out lived their usefulness.

I’ve said many many times that unions destroy companies because they’re greedy and think they own you while it’s ppl try hard not to work and want more pay. All of a companies profits isn’t supposed to go to them. They’re never satisfied I myself tilt my hat to yellow for saying enough. I bet now they wish they had that job back. Union members are ungrateful and lazy. All my experience with union members was always…they want to get paid for being and doing nothing there’s always issues with them. So let them form their own company and stop bullying everyone else.

So you owned the the union pension fund over $50,000 yet you’re still paying your executives and shareholders money or you blame the union. Typical you have missed manage this company for years and years and now you wanna blame the union. This company went under because of poor management end of conversation.

Management at Yellow Freight got a $700 million USD bailout during COVID . Management went out and aquired 2 more freight companies but never paid their bills and on top of that asked the Teamsters for wage, pension and benifit cuts. This is all poor management .

In reply to Stephen Webster.

The union is the problem!! Read the history, watch what happens out there… 36 years of doing this stuff, and every time I see a union coming, I run!! Because, the trucking company will be closing its doors, sooner than later. Time and time again I have seen it.
It is a free country, and you can feel free to join up, I just do not want to hear the crying when you lose your job, and your pension because of union greed and corruption!!
Good luck!!

The union was not the problem. It was management and the freight L T L market
This just increased the surpluses of truck drivers and force wages lower
