[QUOTE="hondo, post: 1352313, member: 8661"] I personally thought it was a bad idea, and spoke against it before the vote. At least for PT. Among the reasons (although I may not have mentioned this one 'on the mike'), was I don't think the additional revenue comes close to offsetting possible bad publicity in the near future when RTW legislation is proposed for IL. I'm guessing the vast majority of new members each year are PT UPS, say about 1,000/yr. After the IBT gets a cut, that's $45k; just a drop in the bucket, I don't see that making any difference in whatever that money is earmarked for (which I believe it was implied to go towards organizing). Edit: there has been quite a bit of organizing success the past 2 years, but a lot of these are small barns of 10-12 bargaining unit members. [/QUOTE]
