These modernization efforts, known as One Yellow, are essential to the Company\u2019s survival. Without these crucial reforms, which are standard practice in the industry today, Yellow likely will not survive, 30,000 jobs will be lost, including 22,000 union jobs, and its shareholders, including the federal government, which owns 30.1% of Yellow stock, will be severely damaged. Yellow remains a critical part of the domestic supply chain with hundreds of thousands of customers &#8212; large and small &#8212; relying on the Company to deliver freight coast-to-coast. Driving Yellow out of business will badly damage the supply chain, lessen competition and raise the price of shipped goods in the LTL market and feed inflation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do not take this action lightly, but the Union\u2019s leadership has left us with no choice,\u201d said Yellow Corporation management. \u201cFor many months, we have made good faith efforts to meet with the IBT to propose a path forward that works for all parties, but they refuse even to meet, let alone engage in honest talks. We have communicated with all stakeholders in Washington, D.C., including the Biden Administration, to apprise it of the imminent loss of tens of thousands of jobs, the significant anti-competitive effects on the American economy and the devastating impact to the supply chain, and to seek their assistance in persuading the IBT to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. We are fighting for the livelihood of our 30,000 employees who are good hard-working people. We will do all we can to save these American jobs and to protect our shareholders, including the American taxpayer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The complaint also alleges that Sean O\u2019Brien, IBT General President, orchestrated these breaches and has prevented Yellow from meeting with IBT leadership. For several years, the IBT had endorsed the company\u2019s modernization effort and, in fact, approved the first of the effort\u2019s three phases before the IBT reversed itself taking, in Mr. O\u2019Brien\u2019s words, a \u201cmilitant approach\u201d to blocking Yellow\u2019s modernization.<\/p>\n<p>Completion of One Yellow in 2023 is critical to Yellow\u2019s ability to survive, particularly given that Yellow faces, among other things, the imminent need to refinance $1.3 billion in debt\u2014a $567.4 million term loan maturing on June 30, 2024, and a $729.4 million U.S. Treasury loan maturing on September 30, 2024.\u00a0 Nonetheless, as alleged, the Union has blocked Yellow\u2019s completion of One Yellow, triggering grave uncertainty for employees, investors and customers, and has knowingly intended to cause Yellow\u2019s economic ruin.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Sean O\u2019Brien has taken up the role of public agitator for the company\u2019s demise, recently tweeting an image of a headstone in a cemetery with \u201cYellow\u201d on it. He has continued to hide behind numerous false, unconstructive, and irresponsible social media posts maligning the company, while refusing to discuss a path forward with the Company itself. The situation might have been avoided if the Union had participated in meetings months ago or otherwise agreed to sit down and negotiate in good faith. Yellow must now take immediate steps to try to save itself. Yellow is entitled to $137.3 million (and counting) for the injury the Union has caused Yellow, and continues to cause Yellow, and in the event of its demise, at least $1.5 billion for the loss in enterprise value Yellow is sustaining as a result of the Union\u2019s breaches.<\/p>\n<p>Yellow is represented by national litigation firm Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP. The Kasowitz team representing Yellow is led by partners Marc Kasowitz and Ron Rossi and includes partner Kim Conroy and counsel Maria Gorecki.<\/p>\n<p>The case is <em>Yellow Corporation, YRC Inc.
