[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 3723456, member: 14176"] [I]Art. XII, Sec. 2 [/I] [B][U][I]When in the judgment of the negotiating committee the involved employer has made a final offer of settlement, such negotiating committee shall have the authority, with the approval of the General Executive Board[/I][/U][/B][I][B][U], to conduct agreement ratification votes [/U][/B]and strike votes on such area, multi-area, multi-employer, national, company- wide, industry-wide, or Local Union basis as the committee shall determine, except that no such final offer shall be considered to be a contract offer subject to ratifi- cation by the membership until it has been reviewed by the Local Unions which are the bargaining representatives of the involved members. In the event a strike is authorized, the said committee shall have the authority, with the approval of the General Executive Board, to direct that the strike be conducted on such area, multi-area, multi-employer, national, company-wide, industry-wide, Local Union, or such other selective basis as the committee shall determine. Results of ratification or rejection votes with respect to master agreements shall be determined by all involved voting members on a cumulative basis of all votes cast as follows: (1) If at least one half of the members eligible to vote cast valid ballots then a cumulative majority of those voting in favor of the final offer shall result in acceptance of such offer; and a cumulative majority of those voting against acceptance of the final offer shall authorize a strike without any additional vote being necessary for such strike authorization. A tie vote shall be resolved as provided in Section 1(b)(l) of this Article. [B][U](2) If less than half of the eligible members cast valid ballots, then a two-thirds (2/3) vote of those voting shall be required to reject such final offer and to authorize a strike. The failure of such membership to reject the final offer and to authorize a strike as herein provided shall require the negotiating committee to accept such final offer or such additional provisions as can be negotiated by it. [/U][/B][/I] Has anybody heard the Negotiating Commitee, or any General Executive Board member, state that this offer for ratification is a "final offer"??? All of the [I]"talking heads"[/I] for the IBT, that claim to be [I]"in the know"[/I] here on BC, dummy up when this question is posed....so I guess we will have to see if a contract will once again be forced down our throats due ridiculous Article 12 language that clearly circumvents the democratic process.
