I work for YRC, and some of us drivers are catching on to FedEx Corporate idea and that idea of FedEx is to Union Bust YRC. FedEx is sending their sales representive into our customers and telling our customers why ship with YRC, when they are going to belly-up. Ship with a reliable carrier like FedEx, who has no disruption and will be pick up by a FedEx driver and transit thru a FedEx linedriver to the destination. Well that's a BIG LIE, is FedEx Corporate telling their customers that they are using a 3rd party or Purchase Transportation to haul the frt? my guess is no, because the customer would probaly said why use FedEx and pay those high frt rate when they could eliminate the middle man like FedEx. Now our job at YRC is to contact the customer FedEx picks up and sell our service, that our drivers will pick their freight and be deliver by our drivers and not a third party transit carrier.

(change fedex to win) does not say change yrc to win brother sorry. yrc has there own problems so grab all the freight you can because fedex will be doing the same. good luck getting back to 20.00 an hour because the union should have said no to the wage reductions, walked out and held firm. If they ask fedx employees to take any cuts now or later they may as well forget about starting the union right now. we want a strong union and nothing short of that will work. try asking the long beach or san pedro long shoreman to take that crap yrc and fedx has been pulling and see what happens. they would rather swalk the picket line than fall for this crap these and other compaines have and will continue to pull if you let them. 952 SUNDAY 9.30 BE THERE.

And your guess would be 100% correct. A large percentage of the freight we steal from YRC and others goes onto someone elses's truck because it's cheaper.

I think it's a good move that you guys contact the customers who have gone with Fedex over YRC.

This Sunday’s meeting at 952 in Orange Ca. is an opportunity for all Southern Cal. FedEx employees to stand up and be counted. Let the IBT know that the time is now! That we need their help to make this company one of the strongest unionized company in the United States.

The organizers that are at your local terminals have brought us all to this moment. Now it’s up to the rest of us to take charge and ownership of this campaign!

It’s time to stop being cheerleaders and time for us all to be LEADERS!

UNITED WE BARGAIN! DIVIDE WE BEG!
