To Mr. J. Fox, I can not believe you said that!!! Surely, you MUST be JOKING!!! Without a union to provide some sanity to the operation, Greyhound management...
I was going to stay out of this but in all good conscience, I just can't do that. First off, I am what they call "management", I guess. I have had my own...
... investors who are familiar with the linehaul operation. Who? Not a bad idea but finding investors with deep pockets at this stage would be pretty...
All this is feasible except making Greyhound a non-union company. It was the return of the ATU drivers that pulled it out of bankruptcy and who hold the key...
Maybe as long as the current CEO whose head is being called for by many now. Send him back to Krispy Kreme or Northwest Airlines before he ruins Greyhound for...
Well although I'm not in the Bus Industry or with Greyhound and perhaps I may be wrong in this assumption, by I see it as a "Down sizing". It may be Greyhound...
Why not: I just rejoined the group and figure I should throw in my 2 cents worth. Back when I worked at Greyhound, the management was useless. They existed...
Yes it is true that Greyhound's demise started long ago, especially when the executives were no longer brought up through the ranks of the Drivers and...
Just one thought re the Greyhound mess. The gentleman from Krispy Kreme would not be running Greyhound unless Laidlaw management wanted him there. What is this...

Jim, Your reply is almost exactly what I was going to ask, especially the last paragraph. Myself, as a former charter operator in the Houston, Texas area was...

Reading your post we could have made a good pair working together. I had the kind of repore with drivers you speak about and it sure made for nice way to...

If you look at the current state of the company, it is telling us that Laidlaw apparently wants to drain it of any worthwhile assets and shut it down. Dennis ...
Jim, You make valid points but Mr. Gorman has proven time and again that he is NOT the right guy for the GLI job. Bring back Craig Lentzsch!!! Dennis ... ...
To dovetail on Roy's post about unions, I totally agree with him. Unions are more in bed with the company than ever before and we can't totally fault the...
Actually Laidlaw does have operations that don't involve buses, at least as long as its the same Laidlaw. Still use plenty of diesel though. There is a long...
Mr. Fox, Many shady businesses have attempted to call their regular employees independent contractors knowing full well that they are not independent...
