April 2, 2010: YRC’s Reddaway regional subsidiary still has not been able to impose concessions on the Oregon and Washington locals, which have a regional contract. The International freight division has taken bargaining away from the locals; it’s not clear what is happening on it. On March 9, members decisively rejected the last offer.
The locals have filed a grievance over the refusal of Reddaway to pay its pension obligations, which continue under a contract extension.
