[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3770068, member: 63706"] Article 12, section 2 (d) (1) applies to freight, as I believe the majority of eligible members voted, and a majority of them voted it down. It states, in that situation, a strike is authorized without further requirement for a strike authorization vote. Strike authorization doesn't mean a strike will be called, or that it must be called immediately. In both our situation, and in freight's, the Union has the latitude to conduct further negotiations before resorting to a strike. In article 12 section 2 (d) (2) which applies to small package's situation, it says "If less than half of the eligible members cast valid ballots, then a twothirds (2/3) vote of those voting shall be required to reject such fnal offer and to authorize a strike. [B]The failure of such membership to reject the fnal offer and to authorize a strike as herein provided shall require the negotiating com‑ mittee to accept such fnal offer or such additional provisions as can be negotiated by it[/B]" We failed to reject the final offer, but we didn't fail to authorize a strike. Thus the negotiating committee is [I][B]not[/B][/I] required to accept the final offer. The important word is "and". If we had failed to authorize the strike, then they would be required to accept the final offer. I really hope the lawyers are looking into this and straightening everything out, because it seems like no one really knows what the hell is going on. [/QUOTE]
