[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1157069, member: 43436"] People have every right to vote which way they want. Intellectual discussion to sway votes is wonderful, but most of what I read is manipulation/scare tactics/bullying. Sad. I don't agree with the reasons some guys voted yes, nor do I agree with the reasons most of you voted no. I personally voted no for two primary reasons: #1) I will not accept any contract in which Article 7 language is not improved; e.g. no longer should the Company be allowed to discharge an employee who passes gas as "an Article 7 violation," and #2) The contract furthers the subsidies of PT & new employees to reach an incredibly high compensation for FTers; e.g. increased use of seasonals, casuals, temporary workers, PTers, etc. to pull FT work ... at half the wage; 50c wage hike for new hires, etc. Most of you voted no because you think you should be earning $150,000 as a delivery driver, which I think is insane, and likely to bankrupt the future of younger employees... but it's your vote, and your right. It's not like you really care about "brotherhood" as opposed to your own personal greediness. "I'm happy ... so why care about anybody else?" [/QUOTE]
