[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1160232, member: 43436"] I agree to some extent. But I made it my goal to remind every single PTer within my sort that we're voting on a contract proposing significant changes and that we needed to vote to ensure we had a say (I was also offered to take names for the many who did not receive a ballot). I will iterate that I did NOT campaign or suggest a 'no' vote. Despite the persona I sometimes play in the anonymity of online, I tend to be discreet about my view points in person. Anyway, most people seemed annoyed or did not care; some people complained 'why bother ... the union does not care about us' and one person even complained to management that I was harassing her. But I'll tell you the "typical" response: they'll blow off all the literature they've received (from the union through the mail-including their ballot, and from the TDU reps that have staked out our building), they'll blow off discussion of the contract and they'll blow off reminders to vote. Instead, they'll focus on things most important to them... you know, like the MLB All-Star game ballot that somehow impacts their life. Anyway, come January they'll be shocked -- absolutely SHOCKED -- that our health care has changed and now has a deductible, increased costs, and requires possible changes in providers... and they'll then $!## and moan that nobody tells them and that the union once again screwed them over.
