Seriously...it does.
Entry level college "logic and reasoning" class.
Given: A (no vote)
Given: B (yes vote)
Not A...therefore B.
Think about it.

At least my paper airplane wasn't a wasted effort in a sea of votes that are meaningless. The union tough guys have people like you thinking it matters and there's a chance of a strike. This contract is already settled and the IBT/UPS will soon begin trolling the "it's a good contract" line. I fully expect our local union to soon be outside guard shacks touting another sub par contract as a good one.

I never thought in 100 years that I would be on a strike line against ups in 1997....

One worry many newbies might have is loss of income. Young families, mortgages,car payments. Remember the strike fund last time. Non-existent

Do you need an air compressor or tire gauge
A strike vote doesn't mean a Strike.

Haven’t got mine yet. I will vote yes for authorization. Doesn’t change my previous observation

The strike authorization gives the IBT more leverage with the company. A yes in substantial numbers sends the message that the rank and file are serious . It almost guarantees that there will not be a strike. And to answer your statement about strike pay it is 5 X your union dues after the 8th day (minimum of $150.00) plus no loss of benefits with the exception of dental and vision.
Everyone should vote either yes or no. It also sends the message we are paying attention !

I’m not saying vote no, I’m giving a reason why some people may be nervous about a strike. The last strike we got $50 a week. We were told there would be a strike fund but when we went on strike they told us there wasn’t enough to pay us.
