When is ours? I'm confident we would have a strong message to send with the exception of Feng who we all know will vote against a strike.
Before a strike vote will show the company anything. Anything at all, the union will need to actually build some unity. Preaching unity while doing things like denying the members of a particular domicile a local meeting won't get to where we need to be regarding a strike.
The company will judge our willingness to walk out by our day to day actions, not by whether or not we take a strike vote.
We need: viable and active SPC and family awareness committees and leaders that lead vs leaders that follow. The only thing our leaders have lead us to lately is concessions.
