Lat week, Yellow Freight bankrupt and created 30,000 unemployed.

Yellow had become an amalgamation of several failing union freight lines. Roadway was one of the largest. With Yellow et al gone, the Teamsters union took a very big hit

No kidding. A few years ago, I had to go to a Yellow Freight depot to check on a shipment - it was apparently a piece of cargo that had to be taken from a large trailer and loaded on a bobtail for delivery, and was in freight limbo between trucks for over a week. The place had Teamsters posters everywhere you looked - it appeared to be primarily a Union Meeting Hall with a loading dock added as an afterthought.
