Less than 15,000 members bothered to vote. I guess we deserve what we get as a union.

Believe it's more the faith in the process being exposed. Rather the rock bottom it currently sits at. At less than 15% i think there should probably be a radical call of either requiring another vote attempt, or looking at dissolution and merging with another union. Under what circumstance does a <15% participation bode well for an organization? Last i had heard RCA retention was close to 20%... probably means a lot more alongside this now ridiculous turnout exposing how poorly the union is performing.

Table one only cares about table onem

 

[NorthernPines]

Disappointing, yet thoroughly unsurprising.

Missed opportunity for eligible.Table 2 voters to participate en masse and affect an overall No vote on this.

 

[Dominator]

Those cast numbers!

Abandon ship!

Buuuuut marginalizing dissenters is the go-to strategy for keeping the good-ol-boys machine chug chug chugging along!

All -- I see the NRLCA failed to mention how many ballots were sent out.

-- Apologies to Paul Harvey -- Where's the rest of the ( information ) story?

-- Anyone out there privy to that number?

 

[ATCBigE]

15k voted total on our contract.

I understand there are more city carriers, but quick comparison.

90k total votes.

64k rejected
26k accepted

They had more people vote in favor of contract than we had VOTE TOTAL.

That tells a story right there.

 

[Maillady2024]

So what’s the ratio of people who voted plus actual members. Either way it’s sad, this union is the worst and they don’t work on our behalf. I’ve been a rural carrier for 15 years never been apart of the union and never will especially how they’ve done us these past contracts. I’m on table 2, I don’t get paid enough to dish out money to them.

I literally just daid that to my (former) city carrier cousin. This is a ridiculous ratio no matter how this gets spun.

I read they mailed out 91,000.

 

[RollinRural]

I read they mailed out 91,000.

Maybe the 85% who didn’t return their ballot couldn’t afford a stamp

There are far more Table 2 carriers than Table 1. They didn't bother to return ballots?
And this Table 1 carrier certainly didn't vote for this disappointing contract.

Fourteen Thousand Six Hundred Fifty (14,650) ballots were processed. The results are:

IN FAVOR OF RATIFICATION: 9,730

OPPOSED TO RATIFICATION: 4,880

VOID: 40

TOTAL BALLOTS: 14,650 (16%)

Ballots mailed: 91,369

Well I will say this too after thinking about it more.

I think lot of people don't bother to vote because they see what city side got and think why bother voting when it doesn't mean anything to them.


Personally just wrong how contract are done like this. Also so much depends restc
of contract.

For example, if you asked me about pay raises I would have voted yes. Everything else in contract apart from that it would be a no.

 

[ATCBigE]

So I looked up more numbers.

15K voted in ours.

91K ballots.


City side

90K voted in theirs

185K ballots sent out.

 

[Rogtar]

City's always been bigger though, that's not really news.
I guess you could say they had a reasonable percentage voting so the choice was solid though.

Only 48.6 % voted that's still such a shame that 95K employees don't care enough to send in their ballot. The apathy is just getting worse every year. We only have about 4% show up for state meetings.
