[QUOTE="BrownShark, post: 269291, member: 12148"] Tie, This is the stupid comment I predicted would come out of this vote. "overwhelming majority" ?? Dont be an idiot, I know its tough for you, but if you really tried, you could do it. To be an overwhelming majority, you would first have to have at least 50% of the total membership voting. Its not even close to that. Statistically, in the WEST, only 17% of the membership had a ballot counted. Now, for what ever reason, whether never recieved, not returned in time or just didnt vote, this vote should not count. I believe that the Teamsters should have allowed a 30 day window for returning ballots. Two weeks was NOT enough time to read, understand, ask questions and then mail back in time. But as i said before, this was all by design. Look at the numbers for the WEST, with only 17% of ballots counted, thats alot of members that didnt vote. You would think both the company and the Union would want ALL to participate. In my local, complaints of not recieved, recieved too late or replacement ballots sent too late for mailing are the biggest factors here. Only 1883 out of 10500+ members had a ballot counted. Does that represent a majority in your mind? Of that 1883, 1255 elected to accept while 628 voted to reject the contract. Should 1255 members dictate to 10500+ what happens with a contract that affects all for 5 years and 8 months? This yes vote in 396 represents only 11% percent of the voting members, does this sound like a majority. Please stop being an Ash, the contract passed, give it a rest. Peace. :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
