Will $900 Million a Year Savings Be Enough For YRC Worldwide?
July 15, 2009
YRC Worldwide's 50,000 Teamsters employees are being asked to approve an additional 5 percent wage cut as well as an 18-month freeze in the company's pension contributions. This comes on top of a 10 percent wage cut already approved by the YRC workers. Combined, these two givebacks are estimated to save YRCW approximately $900 million annually as the debt-laden company fights for survival.
