[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1159847, member: 17969"] What is truly sad for the NO vote sectors, is the fact that the WEST, who is affected the MOST by this contract, still had 4300 knuckleheads willing to vote YES on this contract. Had they voted with the majority in the west, the NO votes would have shut down this T.A. I, for one, dont have the first clue as to why they would vote to HURT themselves. Its simply shocking that they could vote this way with full knowledge of what was at stake. The current gap is 4452. in our local alone, over 5000 members DID NOT return a ballot in a local that rejected the contract by an 80% margin. Had those ballots been returned, this TA would have been shut down. I predicted a 52% approval vs 48% rejection giving a 4% unclear margin either way because of the uncertainty of ballots being returned. Once 135 is counted, the T.A. will pass with 52%. This is still bad news for us overall. Now, 16 supplementals have to be re negotiated and there isnt enough time to get with the members and hold meetings, then get to D.C. and discuss with the IBT to formulate a new proposal to the company, then discuss it with them, then return to inform us, then send out new ballots and have them returned by July 31st. Stay tuned, this will get ugly at this point. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
