I'm not saying "Last Offer" but if we wanted to vote on the company's latest offer all it would take is a phone call to the company to accept what's on the table for a vote.
What’s been offered by the Company particularly as far as future work losses is unacceptable to those currently negotiating on our behalf.
“WE” don’t want to vote on it. “YOU” would like to look at and vote on it. Fair enough said that way.
You are incorrect about voting on who would represent us at the bargaining table. We were not allowed to vote for the current representation.
When you hired on if it was after 1995 (IAM Fleet) Yes you did vote for those who are representing you. You did that by taking the Job after knowing and accepting that this was a Union Job.
The TWU and IAM were already representing the collective and all they did was merely form a partnership to continue to do so.
(Read the decision by the NMB why they certified the TWU/IAM Association)
In our case one/any individual on the nego comm. can vote against bringing the offer out to the members for a vote. How is this the "Will of the People".
When the Executive Committee (Reps from both Unions) decide a deal is ripe they will have the entire Negotiating Committee vote if there is a deal or not.
Majority will rule as to whether something will then be passed on to us or not.
Those men all represent individual stations where the Membership (by majority) voted them in to make certain decisions for them.
Irrelevant if you didn’t vote for that particular President or AGC yourself.
