my my my.....

IMO from what I've heard from reliable sources alot of IAM mechanics have turned in IBT cards, not to mention almost all of the non-represented west folks I know. If true, then IBT will have enough cards to have an election called. Let the campaigning begin.

yes they have,but to what degree? i can guarantee you there isn't enough to warrant a good runoff,,,,,

What do you win if you lose representation?

Dell, to what extent are you willing to guarentee there won't be enough cards? Maybe your right...but then again maybe not.

Mechs would reorganize. Company may even throw some carrots to make the mechs rethink re-organizing. Sky won't fall.

 

[Dog Wonder]

Sky won't fall.

Wages will fall

And at the risk of repeating myself and getting hammered again..........why wouldn't the members vote?? No one has been able to explain this with a reasonable explanation. (Does that make sense??) IMO, because it's always been that way, isn't a reasonable explanation.

 

[Dog Wonder]

why wouldn't the members vote??

Why would any union member support a decertification vote?

What side are they on?

Is it not a vote for a choice in representation?? And yes, if members don't vote, it could turn into decertification but it's not a vote to decertify. Or is that just how it appears to destined?

 

[Dog Wonder]

it's not a vote to decertify.

Yes it is.

 

[AIRWOMAN]

Yes it is.

Please explain how that is. Or why you think so.

Today there is representation. If nothing happens there will still be representation.

If there is a vote there will be either representation or no representation.

Exactly. If there's a vote, then each and every member that is eligible to vote needs to vote. But it's been said before that the members have become apathetic and just won't vote........because it's always been that way. So in the end, the vote counts.

I don't understand why a member wouldn't excercise the right to vote.

and the best for shuting 700 up is a vote and not get 50+1.
