New tdu article on halt to ratification

[Mugarolla]

The elected delegates that don't vote, can be stripped of their credentials and be

forced to reimburse their Local for wages, per diem, hotel cost, and plane tickets.

Let's not get too carried away.

Comparing an elected delegate, and his voting duty, to a member that doesn't vote is stretching it a little.

But I do get your point.

I have said this before. Shame on us.

 

[Froome]

So, can we get the constitution changed to amend the amout of or percentages used to ratify or defeat the nma. Use the total number of votes cast for or against a strike autherization as the base. If 50000 vote, then you need a simple majority of 50000 on the nma to pass or deny the proposal...just a thought.

Want to see those responsible for this NMA...look at your non voting co-workers.

The people responsible for this contract are the people who negotiated it.

End of story.

I agree.

And we could not get enough votes, or enough of the membership to vote, to overrule them.

Thank goodness.... for all of the fiscal responsibility within.... the Teamster ranks. Fore!! Lol

Majority voting is the rule.
Hoffa has chosen to lie and say it was a final offer.

Kinda like how the no movement lied when saying that I’ll only work 8 hours a day and will be laid off on Mondays? @ 32 hours a week, ups is bleeding money.

And who is responsible for voting in the people negotiating the contract?

No.

You realize Hoffa kicked people off the negotiating committee right?

 

[BigUnionGuy]

Of course he did.

They were appointed positions.


How hard is it.... to follow one simple rule ?

Thanks for the news flash.
Do you realize the NM committee was comprised of representatives elected by members.
All I'm saying is members need to vote. In local elections, on contracts, and for delegates to the Convention.
That's how accountability works.
Not sure why you're letting your anger cloud over facts.

They did, and the majority of voters shot down the proposed agreement.

And it's forced on them anyways.
That's how accountability works?
Really?

 

[BigUnionGuy]

Yeah.... kind of a salient fact.

The majority of voters shot down the proposed agreement.

Only, the members that bothered to vote.


And it wasn't some sort of an overwhelming mandate.

Face facts.

I thought the no movement was going to show up. Like an 80-90% show up. It appears that many many members saw through their scare tactics and mistruths.

Uh, ya that's how voting works Buger, people that don't vote don't get a say.

The majority of voters voted against it.
Face facts.

 

[Pizza]

Uh, ya that's how elections work Buger, people that don't vote don't get a say.

The majority of voters voted against it.

Unless it is a Teamster election.

This was not an election. Who were the candidates? It was more like a bond measure.
