It is actually closer to 20%. The Union is hoping that electronic voting will bring those numbers closer to your estimates.
Great, all we need is a lot more uniformed part time and scared newer full time votes.
Just how hard was it to turn in a paper ballot. Just keep everybody in the dark till the last second and spring it on them without factual information works every time.
I see a game plan unfolding on this contract: Wait for the last second with the electronic voting, scare the membership with propaganda about layoffs, raise the starting wage to a 2023 minimum rate. Force another bare minimum master with split raises and no real power to enforce. People better start to actually understand what they are voting for or be prepared to again eat manure for the next 5 years, your choice.
Thank God for the Supplements. At least the rank and file in those regions try to understand what they are voting for.
We will see if the current negotiators will be willing to submit an inferior (master) for vote before Aug. Look at the players involved it is like the (Game of Thrones). I do not expect an extension, thinking the company is lobbying Washington to prevent any strike action, they had plenty of time, it is a farce. It is only a 5 year contract if they start to loose money or go bankrupt they can be more prepared to ask for concessions but not of this one.
People, the MONEY is there..do not fall for the misinformation that will be presented.
