Well ours is on Sunday at 2 diff locations about 45 mins apart from eachother. I don't see how that's being in anyone's face. I don't understand why they just can't do it at a rally at the building on a work day.
I believe that’s what authorizing a strike vote does, takes away the members ability to view any contract or offer.

I don’t think the company will want a strike vote on their property.
They should do it during the PCM. LOL

Just from reading the notices on BC..they will be at the members' parking lots on a given time and day in order to collect more votes. For our potential members who work in a RTW state and selected not to pay dues it would be a great time for them to join, I do not believe they will be eligible for any strike pay if it comes down, on second thought maybe we do not want them ... considering...

“the union insisted that its members won’t return to work unless the package delivery giant creates more full-time jobs and drops a pension proposal.”
Ironically, a few years later, the union asks the company to bail out numerous pension plans, and also taking the members of the central states plan into the company plan if I’m not mistaken.

Carey knew that if that Contract was put up for vote it would pass, we should never underestimate the fear factors involved with a strike vote. Most recent ones generally pass at over 95 percent, this one will have more participants considering the previous lack of involvement from our membership. O'Brien is working off Carey's playbook, once he gets that approval in his back pocket, then this Contract will start moving again. It would be foolish to vote NO, it will not change things, it is a done deal.
The Company will not permit it...probably will be done at the parking lots prior to our work shifts. Coffee and donuts may be served...

Not sure how many days there are until August 1, but if a Strike vote is done so frequently, and the response is always Yes…doesn’t it actually lose any usage that may have been intended?
It’s predictable and the outcome is predictable. What people REALLY choose do do when they’re faced with the REAL decision May be different.
So, a Strike Vote is part of the process. Maybe the IBT forgot that and are now rushing to “ check that box”?
I honestly do not know why they waited so long

BA had me rallying the hub rats, I almost reached out to the entire hub, but was instructed to return to my work area. Someone must have ratted me out to management. 
them. They’ll out themselves if they decide to cross. Damn pusillanimous.

Was it like this back in 97?

I’m going to do it again as long as I have my BA’s blessing to reach out what’s left. Guess it’s a cluster everywhere. Brace yourself ladies and gents. We’ll get through this together!
