[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1150552, member: 32753"] Shouldn't there be a coordinated effort by the locals to ask each and every employee whether they voted or not, like how there were people going house-to-house making sure everyone was registered to vote? Something as simple as being excused for 30-60 mins one day to physically walk to every member working and asking, "Have you voted yet?" and if no, "Why not?" I am sure it wouldn't be inappropiate to address the importance of voting on what each [I]individual[/I] would like to see in their [B]personal working relationship[/B] with UPS; that is how I view this, and I am apolitical in nature. Granted, in the end my own wishes won't be entirely met, but have enough been met-whether they be for my own family needs, or IMO the entire union membership-for me to vote yes. This shouldn't take a lot, but could be done one day-a-week up until the deadline, and unlike the elections of e-boards and officials, this directly pertains to the company as well as the workers, so I would think a steward could be excused from their duties to walk to each and every member of their shift and ask the question.
