[QUOTE="soberups, post: 374671, member: 14668"] Try to remember that the company was also in favor of this offer and was encouraging a "yes" vote. And it was the company that was willing to go into negotiations early in order to resolve the pension issue and the new federal pension laws that took effect this year. My union reps didnt "shove" a contract offer at me. They negotiated an offer with UPS and submitted it to the membership for a vote. I voted "no"....but a majority of the bargaining unit voted "yes". Therefore, the proposal was ratified. Its called democracy. We got the contract we voted for, and if we dont like it than we should use it as a learning experience to help us hold the company, the union, and ourselves as individual voters more accountable when this contract expires in 5 years.
