YRC obtains $700 million government loan in exchange for 30% stake in company.

Professional Pot-Stirrer
In exchange for $700 million in loans, YRC gave the federal government a 30% stake in the company. Coupled with recent news that YRC pushed off payments in its benefit plan that provides coverage for current and retired workers, paints a picture of a company mired in debt, that may default on this public loan made with tax dollars.

Is YRC too big too fail?
I hate corporate welfare.
YRC is union. You know the kind of element that attracts.
If they get laid off, they're gonna milk that unemployment for every penny they can get. And in the meantime they'll be having temper tantrums in the streets and pulling down statues.
Maybe it makes more sense to keep them busy.
I have no idea if they'd collect $700 million in unemployment and welfare though. It might be close.
 
Here's an article you can read without a paid subscription. It says they got 600 million back in September too.

That's like trying to repair a ship that's already sunk.

They’ve been in trouble for years and years. It’s not the government’s job to prop up poor business models.

They almost went out of business a few years ago as well. It’s a failed company and needs to be flushed down the toilet.
 
Had I not been on vacation and not keeping up with things, this would have been a great opportunity to double your money.
