[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3765753, member: 63706"] The thing I never saw discussed was clarification on what was meant by a final offer, even though the question was asked. But if you read the entire article it's pretty clear. I'm not at all certain it would have made a difference. My guess is that a majority of those who didn't vote are not dissatisfied enough with the situation, and probably would have voted yes anyway. The fact that it was put to vote was the indication that the negotiators believed it to be a final offer, as per the teamster constitution. On one hand you can blame members for not being involved enough, on the other hand the case can be made that the bar to entry to being "involved" is too high for the average person. If people who are active in and knowledgable about the union didn't seem to have a grasp on the rules, how could the average member hope to do better? Only after the vote did everyone suddenly become illuminated as if it were so obvious. [/QUOTE]
