[QUOTE="stink219, post: 1169366, member: 29852"] Thank you for the compliment. I appreciate that. I'm sure a few people on here may disagree with you. But as for the bylaws, it's simple. I'll paste the bylaw then explain. Article XXI, Section 2 (2) [B]If less than half of the eligible members cast valid ballots, then a two-thirds (2/3) vote of those voting shall be required to reject such final offer and to authorize a strike.[/B] The failure of such membership to reject the final offer and to authorize a strike as herein provided shall [B]require the Local Union Executive Board to accept such final offer or such additional provisions as can be negotiated by it.[/B] When the final offer has been rejected in accordance with this Section, it shall constitute authorization for a strike at such time and under such terms and conditions as the Local Union Executive Board may determine. [B]Any question arising from the application or interpretation of this Section shall be decided by the General President whose decision shall be final.[/B] My summery: Look at the amount of people that voted, you need 2/3rds of eligible voters to authorize a strike. So 667 out of 1000 need to vote no on the final. If not, the local will have to accept the changes to the contract. So take local 804 for instance, if they have the exact voter turnout on a revote, 844 YES to 1380 NO, they don't meet the 2/3rds. [/QUOTE]
