All members in WI and MN get an autographed picture of Michele Bachmann eating the kielbasa if it passes!
I obviously don't know the locals nationally like some here. Any idea why Wisconsin and Minnesota are hugely for this contract (and supplement) while the rest of the central region seems pretty skeptical.

So does this mean they will be renegotiating the master? Or just the supplements and riders?

Come on PTers voting. We all know PTers are not in involved in union issues as much as Fters. Don't get me wrong the lifer PTers are. There is not many of them. Most PTers are in for short, then they try to go FT. If the company was going to say 6 off the street for every 1 hired in the bldg. then we would see 60% to 75% of the company voting. That's all they want. To get better then what they have now.SoCal is the only region to see a surge in voting. I would bet many of those "new" votes came from PT.

I'm starting to feel devastated.

They're only required to re-negotiate the supplement & rider, but TDU is suggesting that the underlining problems for rejection lie in the master, therefore it must be renegotiated as well, since it cannot be ratified without the supplements & riders being approved.

They where half right. It all happened on a local level. Healthcare should be on a local level any way. It just made halls job easier to put 140,000 in CS. Well he is going to have to work for his money now.I'm not refuting that as a whole, PTers failed to return their votes. If they did, this contract would've easily been defeated.
I'm asserting that in Southern California, PTers had a higher-than-average vote return. It's the only region on the country to have sustained a surge in total voters over 2007 -- in fact, most every other region had a decrease -- and the most logical explanation is an increase in PT votes, rather than a 100% turnout among FTers. TDU devoted heavy resources toward PT NO votes in SoCal, PA & Louisville.
I don't know about other centers in Mn. but my old one shows absolutely zero unity when it comes to the Union activites anymore. Those working now are all "yes" people who would rather let management walk all over them rather than stand up for their rights. I haven't talked to one person still working in the last few weeks who didn't think the new contract was the greatest thing since sliced bread. They all whine about how many hours they have to work and how much management is doing Union work but nobody files a grievance. The old place has gone to Hell and I'm sorry to say I don't feel the least bit sorry for them.
