[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1309126, member: 17969"] With local 89, it was clear that the vote would be an overwhelming NO vote this time around. With "LITTLE" support for a YES vote, members just didnt get involved. Why? Because it was going to get shot down anyways. Dont blame 89 for holding this up. They are "fighting" for a better contract. Something the international should have been doing, instead of trying to ram a "backdoor" deal down our throats at our own expense. If the WEST had actually had enough members voting originally, the national would have been shot down as well and we wouldnt be in this mess. But in the west, getting people to vote is near impossible. 100% will bitch about it, but less than 20% will actually return a ballot. If you want to blame anyone, put it on the west and more over, put it on local 396 who had a 95% rejection of both the national and riders, yet, more than 4000 members didnt vote at all. If they had, the national would have gone down and the international would have had to renegotiate the whole contract. 89 was able to separate themselves from the B.S. and stand up to the company. Additionally, its the IBT to blame for this contract. They "thought" they had it in the bag, shooting for a 51% passage. They miscalculated and now have to face the music. TOS. [/QUOTE]
