Half....

[Bubblehead]

I don't like trying to answer questions on behalf of the IBT, as I am not their designee

on matters on like this.

Gotcha, after all that's @Tony Q 's job, right?

What are the chances that half the membership votes on this proposed contract....

....and if the turnout is less than 50%, will the IBT have the stones to eventually enact this language in the IBT Constitution?

Article 12 - Section 2(d) reads:

"Results of ratification or rejection
votes with respect to master agreements shall be determined
by all involved voting members on a cumulative
basis of all votes cast as follows:

(1) If at least one half of the members eligible to vote
cast valid ballots then a cumulative majority of
those voting in favor of the final offer shall result
in acceptance of such offer; and a cumulative majority
of those voting against acceptance of the final
offer shall authorize a strike without any additional
vote being necessary for such strike
authorization. A tie vote shall be resolved as provided
in Section 1(b)(l) of this Article.

(2) If less than half of the eligible members cast valid
ballots, then a two-thirds (2/3) vote of those voting
shall be required to reject such final offer and to
authorize a strike. The failure of such membership
to reject the final offer and to authorize a strike as
herein provided shall require the negotiating committee
to accept such final offer or such additional
provisions as can be negotiated by it."

Buckle up people, I predict that we are in for a wild ride.

why would language like this be in a contract. It seems to me that it's a easy way to gets BS contracts passed because they know how its members don't vote. Every eligible voter should vote no to send a message this is not the best offer.

It's not in the contract....


It's in the IBT Constitution.

I've met the man several times around the country, including DC headquarters.

He has been to my Local and I've been at his, on the opening day of the new Union Hall.

It's getting redundant.... that I have to repeat myself.

I haven't made a recommendation, on how members should vote.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

I don't expect older people to understand the difference. But that's big

Hell, I’m 63 and I understand.
I haven’t filled out any survey or ballot in the last 10 years except via the internet / computer... maybe 15 years.

If I call Hoffa Hogfa and say some of the stuff I have said on here I would think you would be able to put two and two together and come to the assumption that I am in no way speak for the IBT.

 

[Staydryitsraining]

Not if he is 62.

Your a winner

 

[BrownFlush]

And some of the words you use get past the forum firewall that no one else's does.

Hmmm. Why is that?

Are you K B from the ibt who gets a pass from management and the ibt on here?

Early and often.
