[QUOTE="noazrk, post: 3699379, member: 22243"] You are correct! I recently did so and the results are depressing, here are the details. I was on vacation before the contract meeting on 8/12. I went to my hub 30 minutes before our shift on Friday 8/10 and handed out flyers stating "Your contract Your future" pleading my fellow part-timers as their steward to show up and be represented. I left all opinions about the contract off the flyer but I typed up some hot topics for part-timers to bring up at the meeting. I got 5-8 verbal commitments to attend a meeting that was unfortunately on Sunday morning at 10am. Before the meeting started I walked around and looked for PT members, NOBODY showed up! Just me and the other steward were there representing the part-timers and when I stood up to voice displeasure about one of the 4-5 issues I have with the current proposal it didn't go well. I didn't recognize anyone from the other shift either other than their stewards. People either forgot about it, it was too early, had to go to church....blah blah blah. Seriously? I go to church too but this is a 1 in 5 year meeting. My sort has dozens of 5+ year part-timers who treat this as their main job yet the meeting wasn't important enough. Sad.....and what a waste of time for me to go down there on my vacation. Hopefully they will at least research what they missed and make an educated vote. [/QUOTE]
