      I said it once and I will say it again, Disclaimer I don’t work for Yellow, UPS or any major Company, and I am not a teamster or work for any union, I don’t have any benefit or interest in the matter, but I will offer my opinion. This is not a problem and has an easy solution. Unfortunately, the case is that Executives and Officers in any Company are never willing to give up or take a pay cut themselves, whether it is on Salary, benefits, etc. in order for the rest of the Company employees to make a better living themselves or to help the Company survive. The way they see it, is that corporate should never sacrifice and that the rest of the company employees not at Corporate Offices should somehow or can somehow sacrifice themselves. This is the hypocrisy, Corporate Executives and Officers make millions in Wages or Salaries, Compensation, etc., etc. at any major Company like Yellow, or UPS etc. and they cannot or will not sacrifice or give up anything themselves, be in Wages, Salaries, Compensation, Benefits, Commissions, etc., etc. to help the Company they run or work for “Survive”, but they expect that the rest of the Company Employees somehow sacrifice whatever little money they make, or give up their benefits, or compensation to help the company “Survive”. If those employees can barely get by, why should they give up anything else, when they have given their all. At this point they have nothing else to lose. So my message to Yellow and UPS Corporate Executives and Officers is you take a Pay Cut, you Sacrifice and “Now” you give up something back to the Company that you Run, and Work for and Pays you. Go live more modestly and spend less, trust me you are not going to die you will survive, we all do.
