[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 4874963, member: 49065"] Face it everybody...these kids will not vote...and even middle seniority full timers for the most part vote “Yes” out of a fear of a work stoppage. 2023 will not be any different, expect to see the same 45 % participation if we are lucky, of that probably only 10 % have any real clue on what they are voting on. I believe that the only time that we had a over 50% participants on a contract vote was in1997 after the national strike. We all will have to see how that changes at the convention at the end of June. Fact is most of the seasoned veterans vote “No” on every concessionary contract, proven with the last two. A newer part time vote should never be able to cancel out a high seniority, well informed vote. Maybe separate the contract vote into a part time and a full time ballots, then we will not have one set of members sailing the other down the river. [/QUOTE]
