[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 3771988, member: 49065"] Any attempt to get to that 50 + percentage for a straight up vote will be impossible based on our transient part timers. It would be great if you had to be in the union for 3 years in order to vote, or a full timer's vote counts as twice as much as a part timer's. It will never happen, the International would never get a subpar contract through. The starting wage and turnover with this contract will continue this problem and probably will get worst. Next time it will be your pensions on the the chopping block and those transients will have the final say. It's coming.. That is why Freight got to the required percentages to renegotiate, their ratio of part time to full time has to considerably less that the Package Division's. The ardent "NO" voters were are a dilemma, were we to educate these transient part timers who have less than a year to vote or not. They would of more than likely voted an uninformed or ignorant "yes" just to get a little boost of pay or to get their "retro check". We were between a rock and a hard place, so most of us kept our mouths closes because of it, that is why that threshold of 50 plus % is a pipe dream. In my perfect world our individual voting should count one for every seniority year that you have as a teamster...fantasy I know.. [/QUOTE]
