[QUOTE="a911scanner, post: 3790483, member: 58498"] I just want to say that I am entirely sick and tired of being told that I am supposed to know all of the rules of the game before I vote. It was my first time voting. For a fairly new guy, I felt like not only did I know the present contract fairly well, but I read & studied a great deal on the new proposal to formulate an opinion of my own. Pretty responsible on my part, I'd say. But why in the heck should I "have known" to ask about things I didn't even know I should ask about, like the IBT Constitution? How can I be expected to ask questions about something I didn't even know existed? That information in some form or another should have been offered to me by some knowledgeable person along the way ([I]like my BA or Steward[/I]). Stop telling me I should know all of the information when I have no clue what to ask. For the record, now that I have been shafted by this, I know the information now and will not be shafted again. Thanks to all of you pro union folks and IBT employees for helping me and the rest of the membership so much. At least you did teach us, but not in the method you should have. It was more like "[I]The Deliverance" method[/I] vs a teaching moment before the big test. [/QUOTE]
