Latest VARS update said that the numbers of cards required for a secret ballot has been exceeded......So much for the drive being dead.
We already knew this. All you need is 35% of the cards to hold a vote. Getting 75% will be an uphill battle. They are grasping at whatever positive news they can get. BTW it took over 3 months just to get around 1/3 of the pilot group. The rate has obviously slowed down at this point.
Thanks for the free hot dog offers guys but I am not willing to sign a card just to get free racoon meat. I will buy my own racoon meat and hamburgers. I belive they have around upper 30s lower 40s of the cards signed. A lot of people signed those cards not knowing what they were doing. In the end the majority of us do not want ALPA here. Even the OC members think this drive needs a hail mary miracle to pass. Thank God you need 50% plus one of ALL eligible voters to vote the union in. I just want to remind everyone if you don't want any union at SkyWest do not vote in the election.
I would also like to ask why aren't we holding an election now? Not holding an election shows me even ALPA is scared it probably won't pass so they want to stir the pot making our lives miserable as long as possible. So lets hear it ALPA supporters why are you gloating that you can legally hold an election? You guys are obviously too scared to actually hold one. I don't want an unconfident organization representing us. You either believe we want it or you don't. I for one just want us all to get on with our lives. This has been going on for two years now. The funny thing is that a lot of ALPA supporters are leaving for non union airlines like Virgin America or JetBlue. This shows me they just want to hurt SkyWest and have a chance to stir the pot. Why are you ALPA guys leaving for non union places??
