Roadway and the Teamsters SUCK

. After being in the freight business, with another company under the YRC label(non-union-USF), I was leary on joining the teamsters under Roadway.I was right. Why would a company work senior drivers 55-60 hrs. a week, and not let their junior drivers at least get their 40 hrs? This to me is total ignorance on the part of the terminal manager and the union shop steward as far as economics go. Screw the Las Vegas Terminal MGR and the Teamsters- no wonder America is in a recession.I will never join another union again.Thank you

Written by mnmover, on 11-04-2009 14:06 It comes down to the fact that the company expects the senior drivers to work as much as possible, so they can be cost effective with the benefits dollars they have to pay. If 20 drivers can do the work of 24, then that saves them benefits on the 4 extra drivers. The LTL Freight business is suffering from the economy and carriers are struggling to survive. Things like this may be difficult to understand, but that is the way the business operates and both the company and Union abide by the Freight Contract. Report
