[QUOTE="BrownShark, post: 266344, member: 12148"] Finally, something you and I can agree upon. Now I know you dont have any access to actual numbers as I have, you are correct. The part timers do have the control if they just organized themselves to do so. As I have posted before, less than 5% will return a ballot nationwide (statistically) and the majority of ballots will be returned by Feeder Drivers. Package Drivers are in the middle but dont vote as dedicated as the feeder drivers. In local elections, the numbers are worse. Take my area. There are over 10.5 K UPS Teamsters in our local, yet only 1.75 % of them actually cast a ballot. Its our sanitation sector that controls our elections as they have an agressive minority that insures that they all vote. In total, and my numbers are not current as of this month, we have about 12500K members in total, yet, less than 4500 votes will end up being counted. Our current slate won with 2700 something votes. Shameful. Members become complacent with contracts and elections, they let someone else do the voting, then bitch about it when it affects them negatively later down the road. Glad we found some common ground. Peace. [/QUOTE]
