WASHINGTON, July 31 (Reuters) - White House economic adviser Jared Bernstein on Monday said the reported impending bankruptcy of cash-strapped U.S. trucking company Yellow Corp (YELL.O) does not indicate an economy-wide problem. "So I think that this looks like a more of a Yellow story than an economy-wide one by a long shot," Bernstein said. Yellow Corp has ceased operations and is filing for bankruptcy after failing to reorganize and refinance over a billion dollars in debt, the Teamsters Union said on Sunday. The company was the third-biggest U.S. trucker specializing in the less-than-truckload segment that combines shipments from different customers in the same trailer. "Nobody likes to see an event like this, as you say, practically a 100-year old company and iconic American Trucking Company and the job losses that you cited."

Strike at trucking firm Yellow averted after deal

July 23 (Reuters) - U.S. trucking firm Yellow (YELL.O) averted a threatened strike by 22,000 Teamsters-represented workers on Sunday, saying the company will pay the more than $50 million it owed in worker benefits and pension accruals. Yellow is the third-biggest U.S. trucking company specializing in the less-than-truckload segment that combines shipments from different customers in the same trailer. Competitors, who are grappling with a sharp drop in freight volume, are expected to cherry-pick the company's customers, trucking experts and analysts said. It has successfully won such concessions in the past, but this time was rebuffed by new Teamsters General President Sean O'Brien. A federal judge in Kansas on Friday rejected Yellow's request to block the Teamsters from striking over the delinquent benefit payments.
