[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1130528, member: 14668"] I cant speak for your area, but my Local (162 Portland, OR) has scheduled a special contract proposal meeting for Saturday the 18th. At that meeting, our local leadership will offer a powerpoint presentation where every line of the [I]new[/I] offer will be shown on an overhead projector, side-by-side with the[I] current[/I] language so that [I]all[/I] the changes will be highlighted for questions and discussion by the membership. After that, I expect it will be a minimum of 3 weeks before ballots are even mailed out, and a couple of weeks more before they are due to be turned in. Bottom line; [B]nobody is hiding anything[/B]. The information about the new offer [I]will[/I] be made available to us in a timely manner, and we [I]will[/I] have ample time to read it, discuss it, ask about it and make our own decisions about it prior to casting our ballot. The current agreement doesnt even expire for[B] 3 more months[/B], and the tentative agreement was only reached 4 business days ago. My guess...is that the people who are the most vocal about demanding every last detail of the new offer [B]NOW [/B]have [I]already decided [/I]how they are going to vote anyway, and they are just looking for more out-of-context facts to bash Hoffa and Hall with.
