Yellow has filed the expected massive change of operations documents to consolidate Holland and New Penn into Yellow across the Midwest, East and South, including freight terminals in Local 71.
There is no proposed hearing or implementation date in place yet. The proposed change would create nearly a thousand utility driver positions, 35 new velocity distribution centers, and would consolidate and reconfigure various terminals.
The local will be meeting with the company before the end of the year to discuss the impact these changes will have on our terminals.
If you have questions, submit them in writing to your shop steward or to the union hall.
