YRC Worldwide to Cut 600 Non-Union Jobs

YRC Worldwide is eliminating about 600 non-union jobs at the end of April, related to the integration of two subsidiaries and the economic meltdown.

The Overland Park, Kansas-based trucking company absorbed Yellow Transportation and Roadway on March 1st.

Eliminated positions include corporate staff and support positions throughout the company in locations throughout the US.

YRC offered eligible workers an early retirement option, which includes subsidized medical coverage until age 65. Affected employees will get severance benefits.
