[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1161435, member: 42270"] The Master cannot be ratified until the supplemental agreements are passed. The IBT is allowed to appoint their own designees to the supplemental negotiations to "move them along." However, if a supplement is voted down by the membership three times then the IBT is required to take a strike authorization vote. If your supplemental agreement was approved, then you are locked in for all intents and purposes. You will not see any improvements to your supplement's language. If you are in a company insurance plan and your supplement was approved, then you are moving into TeamCare January 1st. In 2002 and 2007, several locals held out and IBT leadership got involved in their supplemental negotiations; but the union has never had 2/3 of the country reject their supplements before. Personally, I don't see any drastic measures being taken other than UPS agreeing to contribute a little more towards TeamCare on behalf of these locals in the rejected supplements to get just enough full timers to approve the agreements along with a few other tweaks. However, it seems that the locals that always reject their supplements get better deals; 804 was slotted for 100 22.3 jobs just for their local in this agreement and they still rejected it. I'm interested to see what they finally get. If the next round of supplements get voted down, it's really going to get messy. [/QUOTE]
