My Senior Picture
Part time supervisors and seasonal help are receiving contract ballots in my local.
What more can happen to this screw up?

Their ballots will be in an automated contested vote pile. Once they determine the votes are ineligible they will be discarded. I doubt that sups and helpers are current on dues.Part time supervisors and seasonal help are receiving contract ballots in my local.

Because someone would have to be checking off these employees as "paid up to date" for dues. Do you think the union would negate collecting their money? Conversely, your local should be keeping this info current. If someone got through the cracks, it's more a local issue. I've validated 1000's of ballots in local elections and votes. People don't just slip in.They haven't got much of anything else right, what makes you think they will get this right?
Wrong return envelopes, missing ballots.
Oh ye of blind faith.
If it makes you feel better, I want to believe it too, but for different reasons.

I'm not completely sure. Essentially you are talking about 2 piles. A NO pile and YES pile. Maybe after the separation of piles there is a machine counter. Not fully sure. Like I said, I do local ones and it's all by hand so each can be validated by other observers.Why isn't the voting and counting more "automated"?...
As they may. This maybe an international rule in the bylaws on voting. I can't say for sure if another method will be employed.Seems like they are counting them by hand to me???
They are first put through an automatic sorter in while still in their secret ballot envelope. There's a barcode on them with the name attached and if they're not members in good standing, it'll kick them automatically.
I was wondering about a certain line on the Official Ballot Instructions that reads: DO NOT remove the computer label on back of the RETURN ENVELOPE. If the label is not intact, your ballot may be voided.
Guess what, ther was no computer label on the back of my envelope. Another screw up??????
Don't worry. They will vote for you if that happens. The count might be unanimous in favor.

If there was no bar code/printed name on the back of your return envelope, request a replacement. An envelope without that eligibility information will not be counted.I was wondering about a certain line on the Official Ballot Instructions that reads: DO NOT remove the computer label on back of the RETURN ENVELOPE.

Retired 6 months ago and got a ballot, will probably get another one in 5 yrs!
