early results

[639OldTimer]

I've had a good opportunity to look at and consider everything in this agreement and I agree with the BA at Local 639, who was on the National Committee, and this is a good agreement. This contract addressed every concern and accomplished every goal that we asked of our Committee to work for. The BA told me that the Company was absolutely dead serious that employees pay a portion of their health care premiums right up until the last night of negotiations. The Committee not only beat that down but also secured the monies needed to maintain and possibly improves our current benefits. In addition, we also got more than enough money to make sure our pension stay's secure and healthy. Those were big victories! Now as far as the raises are concerned, I'm very happy that by the end of this Contract that the pay rate for a full time employee (feeder, driver, ft inside) will be about $37.00 per hour and the total package will be almost $60.00 per hour. Has anyone checked what the highest paid fed ex ft employees make lately? I've known the BA at Local 639 for over 30 years and I trust his judgement. He would not endorse a bad deal and this is a good deal. I voted yes and know that many of my co-workers also voted yes.

TDU reported that as of 2PM, ballot counting had not started, yet many of the early results were reported before that time.

But the dude running the "Vote No" Facebook page is a TDU observer at the ballot count, so should be trustworthy. According to the page, as of 5PM, it is 3072-2538 (55-45) in favor of a "YES" vote, with some of the strongest identified "NO" region already counted.

How do you count votes within unopened envelopes ? Did the TDU clowns buy those X-ray glasses they sell in the back of their comics !!

Bagels,

Those were a couple Pennsylvania locals that were counted. The entire Hoffa New England region has been counted already. The big 804, 177, 89, the rest of Pennsylavania and the Southwest have not been counted. We're talking about less than 6,000 total votes counted.

Be assure, the Hoffa New England region has been counted!

In 2007, New England was relatively close. The biggest "YES" margins came from the South, West and Upper Midwest. The conservative South will put up a health "YES" margin. It'll probably be closer the the West & Midwest, but will it yield enough "no" votes? And how are they going to handle the screw up in Louisville?

UPDATE: TDU reports that the vote count noted about (55% YES) includes 804. This contract is going to pass.

Local 177 is a huge player in this, and not yet counted.

Just got off the phone with TDU.

804 has not been counted yet! Most of New England has been counted and half of Pennsylvania. They are going through the small locals first and will stop at 8:00pm Eastern Time.

Bagels you are aware that the upper Midwest includes big Local 89 (Louisville) and 651 (Lexington) which have recommended a NO vote?

In 2007 Local 89 went YES 1,664 to 760 and 651 went YES 290 to 212.

Local 89 should have at least 4,000 No votes this time around and Local 651 no less than 400 No votes.

This isn't over till that fat lady sings!

Per TDU's website: "The national contract has been voted down in Philadelphia Local 623, New York Local 804 ... " so seemingly, the vote totals reflect such. Per the Facebook update, as of 6:30PM, the margin's grown to 5381-4008 in favor of "YES."

If the vote count includes NYC & Philly, then the NE is voting "YES" nearly as strongly (sans Philly, which along with SoCal & Louisville was targeted by TDU) as it did in 2007. No reason to think that the South (+7000 margin of YES in 2007) and Upper Midwest (M-SP, Milwaukee, etc.; huge YES margins in 2007) are going to have huge swings. Even if SoCal & Louisville join Philly, there simply aren't enough votes to overcome the YES margin.

closer than everyone thought.

Much closer to YES, maybe.

If the margins listed by TDU include NYC & Philly -- and they seemingly do -- 57% YES is as strong as 2007 (and stronger, excluding Philly).

They have not tallied the 804 votes yet. But as they've opened the envelopes the observers have noticed that overwhelmingly its going NO. But note, they have not been counted yet.

 

[TimeForChange]

Local 804 members voted down the national contract 1594-618. Members turned down the Local 804 Supplement by a vote of 1380-844. (62% to 38%)
