'Yellow Corp' has been in the freight carrier business for 99 years but the company suspended operations on Sunday, leaving close to 30,000 people nationwide jobless."Definitely sad, but did it take us by surprise no. No, it was just the worst part was the waiting," said Glen Brannon."I had just got my 20 years in with the company three days ago," he said.
The company has also been working to reach a deal with the Teamsters Union which represents roughly 22,000 Yellow Corporation employees."It's a hard pill to swallow," said Waggoner."I am glad we got to be friends and stuff over the years and got to work together. We are keeping in touch with each other and hopefully get to work together again. Some people were close to retiring and are going to do that.
