A re run election and all is quiet from both sides. Are the Fleet Service members being played as puppets? How much extra effort and dues money is spent on a re run election? Is a re run election warranted? If so... why can't an election be conducted without objections? Will a re run election produce different results? If not... what a waste of membership dues! Both parties seem to be under a campaign "gag order" to this point.

Yeah, it has been very quite on both sides like was said. But I think that the U4C side is targeting a very few stations that they think that would put them over the top. Probably either undecided or very close stations in the last election.  Being this is in the Summer, turnout will be very light. But you have to factor in the people that were relocated (from the station reductions), and they are beginning to settle into their new stations or hub. And the people that have been furloughed. Will they vote? Ballots will be available for them, but will many vote this time.
 
IMHO, I don't know how this will play out. If I were a betting man, 60-40% for the status quo.

The past election was subject to valid objections. Issues, raised in the protest to the Department of Labor (DOL), that could have had a direct impact on the election results. As a result, the IAM, agreed to conduct a re run election. Hopefully, a valid and democratic election will take place this time around. My money would be with your odds. Regardless of the outcome... it should be duly noted, the integrity of the election process is being monitored by multiple parties. Ultimately... the ENGAGED members will decide and choose the leadership. However, the dynamics have changed dramatically since the last election. Membership on the UA side are "feeling the pain" of the agreement, ratified by the membership, just recently. Lots of outsourcing, job loss and relocation hardship. IMO... On the UA side of the incumbent candidates... it's a coin toss.   
 
 
Anybody know who the NC is for the TWU in the upcoming JCBA talks. The IAM has had their committee named and ready for some time now for both fleet and mtc. Yet the TWU is very hush hush on who is on their committee.

All 9 of our Fleet President's will be a part of the process but it hasn't been communicated officially who will be sitting directly in the room across from the company to present and receive proposals.

So WeAAsles, you seem to be the info mofo, is it true the joint committee will meet beginning July 6th?
And "if" this is true, this document is worthless.

As in Totally Worthless Union!
 
FYI, pick a better info mofo!

So if in fact that is the case, that's not troubling to you?
 
"But in no event later than 30 days after certification"

It's a trigger of a gun that maybe only would be pulled if either side needed to. My guess is neither side feels that need?
 
6-19 is when all parties should be seated and negotiating WeAAsles. That is what the SIGNED MOU clearly states.
Of course accountability is not the TWU's strong point.
