[QUOTE="Hawfuh Sux, post: 1159764, member: 48086"] The main concern in the Southwest was and continues to be Healthcare. Our [B]Southwest Rider[/B], covering 7 locals in southern California, 691 in Las Vegas, 104 in Arizona and 492 in New Mexico (a total of 10 locals on superior Company Health Plans) went down hard: [B]4,455 to 1,746[/B]. Thousands of people in our region didn't receive ballots. Others received them the day before, the day off and days after the vote count began on 6/20. The margin would have been a lot larger if everyone would have received a ballot. The rest of the Western Conference on union health plans voted Yes, with maybe 2 or 3 locals going NO. But being so much bigger in the Southwest, we overrode the rest of the locals in our region. At our meetings we were told that there was an [B]Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)[/B] to give us until November 1st to let us carve-out our [B]Western Conference Health Fund[/B] or else default into the [B]C6[/B] Plan aka [B]TEAMCARE[/B]. The members didn't buy it, as the [B]MOU[/B] states that it was subject to approval by Ken H and UPS if and when we had the carve-out. The Southwest members believed that [B]MOU[/B] didn't guarantee us anything and so we organized against our local officials, passed out literature and convinced the members to turn it down. All we are asking now is that we get our own [B]Western Conference[/B] or [B]Southwest Health Fund[/B] done before we can give them a YES vote. If this demand is not met, we will again organize to turn it down. [/QUOTE]
