I think we are pretty much at the point where everybody knows how they are going to vote, for the most part…give or take that small percentage of people that are on the fence and still taking their time to look over the pros and cons; to those few, I commend you on your not rushing to vote.
Further on point, I wanted to direct a thread to the topic of New-Hires. I feel that this contract is going to be sent down or ratified based on the votes of this key group, anyone from new to….oh, lets say, two years or so. One question I have is, how soon can a New-Hire vote? Another one is, how good do you think their understanding of the current contract is? And who is the people educating these guys in this regard in your building?
It kind of bothers me right now, especially for the new-new-hires, that the only directions most of these guys are getting about voting is coming from the company alone…which is further compounded by my worry that even our locals (most of them anyway), and International is pushing for it as well. So it’s almost like these guys are not even given the opportunity to figure it out for themselves. Or ask around for opposing viewpoints.
This is the group that is going to be most vulnerable to being mislead (for countless reasons, including age) about the contract. What are some of you NO voters doing to offset that wave of propaganda?
(Of course I am aware that this group hardly ever votes, and most of them probably wont, but if my calculations are right, and this thing is going to be close, it might come down to those few that actually do)
