[QUOTE="grgrcr88, post: 865039, member: 16611"] Are you telling me you think the International should send out a change of address card to every member of the Union? Are you kidding me? Do you have any idea what that would cost in postage alone? Much less the printing costs!! In 2008 there were 1.4 million members of the International, if you take that times even 25cents for a postcard you would be spending $350,000 just to try to verify an address. the same number of those would be returned as the ballots but at a $350,000 cost reduction.You would have to be crazy to OK that amount of expense coming out of our dues money!! I agree, many people don't get their ballots due to incorrect address information on file, but that is 100% the members responsibility to fix. If they are to lazy to change their address, they are most likely not going to vote anyway. I will tell you, there is an election committee that goes thru every returned ballot and attempts to get the correct mailing address before the ballots are counted. It would make no sense what so ever for the candidates to just let them sit, they all want every vote they can get. [/QUOTE]
