"The sky is falling, the sky is falling." - Chicken Little
On a more serious note:
Atlas management is playing a chess game with the Teamster's and they are not even in the same room. The company is at least 10 moves ahead of the union.
With everything that's going on at Atlas/Southern it looks like the management types are hitting the silk on their golden parachutes.
Actually, this does not look good at all. I don't think that Atlas has any intent to keep the company as a viable entity. Too many negative issues have stacked up. They have been playing fast and loose on a number of fronts. It is catching up with them. Use labor issues to obfuscate other problems.
I wonder how the Atlas shareholders would feel about this? Glad I don't have Atlas stock.
I have seen this all before, it doesn't end well for those that have to work for a living.
