[QUOTE="Undertow, post: 3665392, member: 4550"] It passed with approximately 22% of the membership bothering to vote on it. Hardly a percentage that suggests the overwhelming majority of hourlies are really invested in the idea of solidarity at a time when it's needed the most. 22% voter participation sends a message to the company that there's a decent chance it won't have to offer anything substantially better. That's the exact wrong message for the rank and file members to be signaling if a real majority of them are truly interested in taking a stand for better working conditions. 22% screams of weakness and there's little reason to believe the company is going to back off when facing weakness. Strike after the two month extension? if members are truly engaged and unified, I might tend to agree on that date as far as the "when" goes. The closer to peak, the better the possible leverage could potentially be if everybody was indeed on board. But that's a big "IF" in even a best case scenario. Unless there's a huge NO vote of around 150,000 plus, I don't any obvious catalyst to motivate the company into altering it's present strategy. [/QUOTE]
