[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4761057, member: 63706"] I think there are a few issues with the union/ups situation that makes that rule unrealistic. The biggest being the size and turn over within the part time ranks. Any part timer who's been there less than a year doesn't have much skin in the game, especially if they don't plan to stay long. Why should their eligibility and refusal to vote dilute the votes of those who do vote? I don't know the data, but I suspect that if short time part timers were not counted as eligible votes for the purposes of the 2/3 rule, we may have had over 50% voter turnout. I agree that the 2/3 rule has a purpose, which is probably more evident in smaller shops. Perhaps it can be scaled somewhat to differentiate between large national contracts and smaller bargaining units. [/QUOTE]
