[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4345800, member: 63706"] The strike authorization vote was passed with 93% of the vote, correct? Whether you applied the 50% 2/3 rule to the strike vote, or used a simple majority rule (you can argue for either), the strike was authorized. You can't just ignore that because only 22% of the members voted. I pointed this out in October 2018 while it was going on. Under the 50% 2/3 rule we have to fail to reject the offer [I]and[/I] authorize a strike in order for the negotiating committee to be required to accept the offer [I]or[/I], and this is key, "such additional provisions as can be negotiated by it." We did not fail to authorize a strike by any stretch of the imagination. But even if we hadn't authorized a strike, the negotiating committee was [I]not[/I] required to accept the offer as it was, especially since the company made it clear they were willing to reopen negotiations. This is a clear breach of contract with the members by the union officials. [/QUOTE]
