Amidst rumors of an impending bankruptcy filing, the Star reports that Tenex Capital Management will guide YRC through a restructuring--not a bankruptcy.
Like most large firms, YRC has lost business because of the recession. But the Kansas-based corporation pays into a multi-employer pension fund, one that compels YRC to direct about half of its contributions to employees who never work for it.
As I've reported several times, it believed part of the push by unions to pass the co-called Employee Free Choice Act is to bail out troubled multi-employer pensions.
Such plans are commonly known as "Last man standing."
Think about that for a while.
