[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 3636411, member: 49065"] I will never understand with every contract or election why the vast majority of our full time members do not even bother to vote. It has always been hovering below 40 percent, the "97" one was the only one near 50%. This electronic system is practical (quicker and cheaper) and it would sure be informative if we all knew the voter percentages with the last "strike vote", (on a need to know basis I guess). The old mailing ballot was so, so simple and still only 40 percent of our membership bothered to turn one in. I said this before but it still grieves me that most of people on this site who care enough to voice an opinion will be making an informed decision. I still find it hard to take that my personal vote (over 41 years seniority) will be cancelled out by a 2 month part timer who is only seeing the 3 dollar a hour increase. I know that in every building they are always hiring new people but I do see an increase with these new kids. It could be a padding of yes votes to get this contract passed. Could these new uninformed part time members make an impact on this contract? It would of been fair to separate the part time from the full time on these contracts, let each vote on their own issues, or let the full time vote count more than the part time one. Still a vast majority of them do not vote either, but it would be to the advantage or UPS to start having more pizzas parties and let up on the harassment just enough to get this contract passed, then watch out (What attendance bonus) (minimum wage for 5 years) (increased productivity standards) and (lay offs)..
