So, now we see that the Teamsters have given huge cost reductions to YRCW, in the areas of wages, pension contributions and health and welfare. ABF will have to pay way more money per employee than their biggest competitor does, and it's not even close, even though the employees are represented by the same union and signed the same contract.

Will the Teamsters throw a bone to ABF or will they tell them to pound salt?

YRC now might be able to afford to launch more discounts to try to take ABF's business at prices ABF can't afford to match. ABF is competing with one hand tied behind their back and if they lose business as a result, they are effectively losing it due to the favoritism shown by the Teamsters' union.
