G.G.

I agree. The results will probably not change but the integrity of the voting process MUST be maintained inorder for us to claim our credibility.

Every dues paying member should at least receive their ballot.

Are we going to lose some money as a result.....YUP.

Oh well.

Agreed.

The MEC made the right decision. Now the question is what will happen to some of the transition language, such as when the domicilers will be able to start using Crew Bases after the vote count.

do you guys have online voting?

No, which to me is "mickey mouse". As a result of this BS its going to cost lots of people $$. Hell even the regional I came from had online voting!

I think the local 1108 wants it, but I guess Hoffa doesn't......

That seems to be the hot topic right now. My guess is that it will probably happen within a few years.

Being able to vote electronically or via phone would be just one of many perks to separating from the Teamsters.

No, the votes won't be counted until 12/7 now because there were people too lazy to print out the documents from the union website and wanted a hard copy of the TA mailed to them. Since the mail ran slower than expected, the union leadership decided to postpone the vote for 2 1/2 weeks to make sure everyone received their hard copy. As a first year FO, this is costing me $832 in lost pay assuming it passes. Needless to say, I'm not happy about the delay.

You are truly a short-sighted fool, who apparently can't read.

Ultra, Please. We save insults like that for the union board...

If IBB passes (I'm assuming it will) I'm betting it happens within the year.

Over there, I'm all sweetness and light. King of the 1108 ass-kissers. This is my alter-ego!

So the guys voting no, what are they disappointed with?

PTO is useless and won't work. H-days work for people, and PTOs cost them 36 known days off.

18 day schedule is horrible. Reservists feel they are losing money since they won't bid this schedule. They lose vacation days.

No annual adjustment to the base pay scales.

No adjustment to per diem.

These are things I don't like. I voted yes.

Careful DP. Finding fault with the TA is akin to being a Holocaust Denier ... or Global Warming Denier.

You are an IBB Denier

His last sentence solves that problem.

 

[Dr Pepper]

I fully understand why people may vote no, and that was the question from goahead.

My guess is that will move to the front burner next year.

This is a PERFECT example of how behind the times IBT is. We have outgrown their system of balloting for sure.

I bet there are many more examples... this is the most recent and obvious to the membership.
