[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1158255, member: 43436"] [b]Re: Friday's Vote Count[/b] Keep telling yourself that. Most outstanding votes, among FT employees, are in regions not impacted by the change in health care; there's little reason for these people to vote NO. [U]The outstanding vote voted for the contract by 71% in 2007[/U], and by a margin of nearly 20,000 votes. Support in the NE, heavily impacted by the change in health care, dropped by 3 points to 53% in favor of the contract. Clearly not what TDU supporters (which run the 'Vote No' FB page) had hoped, and the discouragement shows on the FB page. SoCal, Louisville and select locals impacted by the changes in health care will shrink the margin, but it won't even be close. For NO to even have a chance, it had to be leading after the NE was counted. This contract will pass by 60%. It's not "virtually tied" but instead now "virtually guaranteed to pass." Counting will just be a formality. And I mention "TDU supporters" because TDU targeted & campaigned against the contract in select locals. For the record, I voted NO. [/QUOTE]
