[QUOTE="chuchu, post: 1207562"] Didn't miss your point. I don't qualify it either because there was a broad spectrum of reasons the vote against the supplement(s) changed and it wasn't just that they all defected. More people that would have voted yes the first time actually voted the second round. Many people in our local all presumed it would pass without their vote the first time and they voted the second time since they found out that their vote counted. It's unknown how many votes came in too late (it was reported that approx 4500 votes arrived late the first time) and others felt the "enhancements" would be guaranteed so they voted for it this time around TDU wasn't the catalyst in the No vote "movement" (which it wasn't a movement) but we can blame them if you want to. We, the members that voted to reject the NMA, Central Sup, and riders supported and propagated our beliefs strongly and as much as possible. We stood united with thousands of members and stewards because we knew this contract was less than what it should have been and contained very damaging language, especially affecting the least compensated workers in our company. "Compilation of wisdom" was sarcasm but not to be meant to be personal. I appologize if it came across that way. TDU is a non issue.....especially when compared to the IBT who sold us a Trojan Horse. ITG, we all are passionate about our jobs and futures. We work hard and believe hard too. Not many people like change and especially if it's change administered by people you don't trust. That has as much to do with how our BAs have treated us as how we perceive our IBT's actions in this contract. The people that voted No did so not as much for personal gain but to maintain levels of compensation (healthcare) in a business that is consistently very hard on your body over time and to support our future full time employees. All that bring said, I and many other stewards do not like giving in to two very corrupt organizations. One we work for and the other we pay to work against us. Have a good weekend. [/QUOTE]
