A: A Doberman.
Once again, the parasite kills the host.
My wife works for Holland which was bought out by Yellow which merged with Roadway to become YRC. Holland is still run as a separate company but will die with the rest if YRC folds.
Union workers get to be stupid and refuse to accept reality. Just reading the story confirms it. It looks like my wife will be out of work sometime next year when YRC folds. She has taken 2 pay cuts and a 18 month long period where no retirement benefits will apply.
These Chicago jokers just want to piss in the pot and kill it for everybody.
My wife is not in Chicago although she is in the union as her job site is union. She is not a die-hard and is realistic about things. Fortunately, we paid off our house last year and her car will be paid off in Apr. My car will be paid off in another year.
We are not taking on any new debt. We had planned to get new cars next year, but that is NOT happening now. We will ride this out and pay off what other debt we have. She is 52 and will probably have a hard time getting work now, much less anything like what she makes now. Even so, just glad our debt load is small.
