[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 3608615, member: 49065"] I am thinking that the vast majority of votes turned in on either a contract or election are from the feeder division (they generally vote as a block) therefore have better language to protect their classification. Second will be the high seniority package/Hub (22.3) full timers, just from my limited observation they tend to also vote together except for a few lower seniority ones that may stray out of fear of any work stoppage. In my building we do not have many long term part timers, most have already retired but the ones who stay voted "NO" on everything out of pure spite and hate. You can always count on them to turn one in. This generation of part timers who will be eligible to vote on this contract are hard to read. Most will not vote, not worth their time and they do not know the issues enough to make a informed one or care, just passing thru. Just from some of the interaction with the young ones most were eager to walk a picket line just to see how it feels, seriously they for the most part are make minimum wages anyway living with their parents on their health insurance. Beside most could survive off their strike pay believe it or not, sort of a vacation without pay, they were looking forward to it. [/QUOTE]
