[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3777504, member: 63706"] No, why do you ask? I haven't really changed my mind, I'm simply increasing my understanding. A lot of people could benefit from doing the same. I agree that the negotiating committee had the right to determine the offer final, and they had the right to use subsection d, and Hoffa has the authority to interpret the entire article and enforce it as he saw fit. I also agree that according to both subsections d and b, based on the facts of the situation, the negotiating committee had no such requirement to ratify the contract, and to claim they did is a lie tantamount to fraud. All the power and decisions were with the leadership, but they continue to attempt to shift the blame onto the membership, saying we didn't vote, when 90 thousand of us [I]did [/I]vote. They choose to tell us our votes don't matter because we didn't force our fellow members to vote? I think that about sums up the reality of the situation. [/QUOTE]
