This deserves to be taken very seriously. The article points to pension negotiations as an inciting factor, but I have to wonder what else might be going on.

I'd have to guess fuel prices and ever-skyrocketing maintenance and tire costs didn't help. Trucks eat a lot of diesel and require constant maintenance to run well.

From what I've heard, YRC (the Yellow parent company) is full of unions, inefficiency, and apathy. Meanwhile its subsidiaries are efficient and profitable were they not being looted to subsidize YRC. E.g. its subsidiaries were making bank on guaranteed two-day service within the West coast of the USA, but YRC put the kibosh on that because its archaic processes and lazy teamsters couldnt manage a comparable level of service.

Teamsters. Can't live with them.

If it's just the usual corporate BS then it deserves to be punished.
