We may not strike but 22.4 will not be in 705. IL bet on that.
It’s about to get real here in 705!

No I'm not wrong. I'm sure you weren't at our meeting. There are certain things we will not accept or we will strike and national can watch. 22.4 is the main thing. We are united over here our strike fund is healthy.
What part of Hoffa isn’t allowing it don’t you understand?
On what grounds will Hoffa disallow a strike?

I'm respectful of what this guy has to say about 710, however, the only reason he'll give you that Hoffa won't allow it is "it's never happened before".
That's not evidence of anything. We've never had a National get vote down by the majority of voters and then passed on a technicality. So never say never.
We're preparing here as though 705 will strike. This will be one crazy peak.

They won’t listen. Same on the Vote no page. I don’t understand why anyone would think that Junior will keep out of it
Straight from the mouth of our president.
Yea I know, I’m not trying to argue with them, I don’t like the fact that Hoffa is involved but nothing we can do about it.
You ignored my post.
I did not say Hoffa would, or would not.
I asked on what grounds he would disallow it.
The question still stands. Answer?

None of the members have any respect for Hoffa I'm not sure how the administration feels but he would have to drag me from the picket line. If our local calls a strike not even trump is stopping us.
Do you remember when 710 was placed in trusteeship a few years ago under Flynn? Who put them and took them out of trusteeship? HOFFA did, I don’t know the proper lingo for your question but he has the power to do whatever he wants with 710 or 705.

straight from the mouth of our president...
So what did he say?
And hasn't 705 negotiated a different contract from the National before?

Yes it was because the guy was giving gift cards or some shady things. He knows if he took over our union a national contract would never pass. In 705 we vote and we could easily get 75% if we needed. It would easily be 10,000 no votes then our guys would be all over the country educating other locals. Good luck to the guys in freight. If they strike the members will loose in short term but win in the long run. The company will offer better contract in future

He has pretty broad power, over all locals, even those outside of the National Master.
A strike would affect the International and almost all locals under the Master.

@Waldo: If you are now eligible to vote, a ballot packet should have already been mailed to you. I don't have the specific details of eligibility, but it's probably some combination of made it through the probationary period at work (40 days worked in Local 705), and having paid the initiation fee in full ($100 for part-time in L705; unfortunately fees, dues, and 'special assessments' are not broken out separately on your paystub-you'd have to do the math yourself by adding up what you've paid, or call the union's 'dues department' to ask about your status).
