Don't you love it, 2005, and we still have to wait for the pony express to get contract details! Lets see, IAM = pony express. Real union = members only section on website. IAM = ballots stuffed in a barrel, and wheeled out back to be counted by some knuckle dragger. Real union = phone/internet voting.
Works for me!

Yeah, what is up with that???
I've never quite understood the IAM and the manner in which it conducts it's voting. It would appear to me that any reputable organization would take full advantage of utilizing the most efficient and reliable means of tallying votes. I'm sure most members would prefer to vote in the privacy of their homes (internet/phone), rather than having to hump it to the "Lodge".
The whole process stinks of impropriety. But then again, I'm not an IAM member, so there may very well be some legitimate reasons behind their procedures that I'm not understanding.
Just as a note, the school I teach in just had to take a vote for eighth grade class president this week. Yup, only one voting method was utilized. Everyone had to vote by computer. Go figure.
Best to all,
