[QUOTE="542thruNthru, post: 4186634, member: 48491"] Sorry I apologize. I've been drinking and answered quickly because I'm out. I read your first paragraph quickly and took it as BAs don't care and welcome apathy. How do you do that? You're a steward. How many members actually listen to you. How many actually care to educate themselves. They look for easy answers and expect you to give them to them. My local had a website that they post everything on. The BAs and local officials have instagrams and twitters as well. People don't care. Most use social media to escape not inform. I can't judge every local. I'm sure your local is completely different than mine. As are many other locals. Though I do believe that it's not as far apart as apple's and oranges as you do. People do not like giving money up and the fact that they didn't feel the need to vote knowing that the outcome could deduct from their gross pay says a lot to me. I'm more dismay about the voter turn out. I wanted the fund yes but I never tried to sell it. I always just tried to answer questions and give the facts. I only said yes or no when someone asked me how I was voting. But no I don't think more votes would have changed the outcome. I think people distrust the union and also don't like to give money.
