They cannot release those numbers until after a tentative agreement is voted on and approved. If the vote numbers were released and they were hella low, UPS could use that against the union as a union busting move.

Never looked at it like that, very valid point. I guess all we can hope for is that the numbers were high and the good judgement is used when the contract and supplements come out.
I believe we only started these strike preemptive authorizations in 1997.
93% is a huge margin.
I also believe that the membership has never voted down a contract proposal that the Union endorsed, and never voted yes on a proposal the Union opposed... nationwide.
So UPS would be well advised to work out a deal that the Union leadership can claim is a big win for the Union. There is a great deal of pressure for a good contract. Union leadership jobs are at stake. This is not an ordinary contract.
