Cemex closing in on deal for Rinker

well that's just great,no doubt cemex will thrash rinker the same way they thrashed rmc/ar ready mix when they took over in 2005.good luck to my fellow driver who thought their job was secure.

since cemex took over rmc in 2005,there has been 2 plants closed and 3 more due to close at the end of may,also 50 percent of the customers have went to the competition,cemex boast about how well they take care of their employees,well I don't know about anywhere else but in marysville,woodland,dixon,fair fieldand lake herman California drivers have lost their livelihoods and thier faith in the o mighty cemex.rinker drivers look for new jobs now!

cemex is the worst thing that can happen to a good readymix company. before they took over all 40 drivers in the Anioch yard were getting 50 to 70 hours a week now the bottom 20 drivers avrege 20 hours a week while drivers from 10 to 20 only get about 30 hours all day long (until quiting time 12:00 pm) i talk to custumers and all they say is how much they hate dealing with cemex! it sucks to pay bills aquired on a 75.0000 a year job on a 40.0000 a year budget. rinker drivers run far far away!!!!!!! p.s. nothern AR drivers, that paid by the load did not work out so well did it? LOCAL 315 PROUD!!!!!!

Antioch driver is right, same thing happened to ATM in the central valley. And you have to fight with HR
to get them to go by the contract, Local 439

Just got laid off on Jan 25 , 08.
Entire plant closed and only about 5 ready-mix drivers left.Only to work at a plant further south.
I feel like I got the shaft.This whole Rinker deal sucks.
Cemex gave them control of Florida and Arizona and lots of people got their walking papers.

Knew cemex was crap when the "cemex way" team came in to implement a system that took the company back 5 years..they not only have driven away the customer base but they have driven the best of what made rmc profitable away....they took a money makin northern ca division and reduced it to nothin...how many cemex trucks do you see on the road...I see only hanson and cenral..run from cemex...if you are employee get out soon....
