Some folks don’t seem to understand the ramifications of a strike

Bully.
Dude, I tried explaining how bad this would be to guys at our small center. When I pointed to the last guy who would probably be laid off, a good handful of faces changed pretty quick. We don't want this.

All this vote does is give the Negotiating Committee the ability to call a strike if they ultimately reach an impasse.
It doesn't even mean a strike is imminent.
What I can tell you is, that if you don't give this Committee this leverage (strike authorization) at the bargaining table,....
....you better be prepared take what is finally brought to your table and vote yes.
There is no place for scared money at the poker table, believe that.

As I read some of the replies on this thread, all I can do is shake my head.
It's kinda like they want Hoffa back?

Zero chance of that for me, I supported Sean as soon as he came out against PVDs. In any organization asking the tough questions is important because iron sharpens iron.
Throughout all the years of Hoffa, you were either a yes, man or you were on the outside looking in, they were absolutely questions you could never ask. It created a weak union.
Sean is in charge, and his decision is final and I will back him, but I might ask questions along the way.

No matter what happens it has to be better than what Denis T. “Negotiated”….
People don't understand.
Even some of the older drivers I talked to are afraid to give a strike authorization.

Probably why the vote totals have been so low so many times. Same ones would never come to a union meeting ever.
I told the people if you can't vote Yes then please don't vote at all

I was talking about junior in this instance.
His father was the Pete Rose of the Teamsters.
In '97, my Local had a member's meeting at the hall to discuss how the negotiations were going. We were told a strike vote was only a negotiating tool to force the company to change some of it's demands. It was a verbal vote by those in attendance. Local 728 covers the whole state of Georgia so its difficult for members in North Georgia and especially South Georgia to attend meetings. They do have regular meetings in Savannah to cover that end of the state. I have also been told that if somebody doesn't vote, then the Local votes for you. I don't know how true that is.

How are you supposed to vote yay or nay on a strike without knowing what the contract is on the table. I’m pretty confused by all this
