Not saying to vote yes or no....but realize the union is stretching the truth with the numbers they present.
One could argue either way, but:
1 - There is a big effort to be completely transparent.
2 - Job loss estimates are pretty well vetted by Economic and Financial Analyis people - number crunchers.
3 - The VB and TDY "costs" and job losses will disappear if those some day go away.
4 - Profit sharing estimates - are estimates - and having them increase or decrease would be a bias. Keeping them constant is a fair way to look at them.
Why would you say the estimates for job losses are low? What specific information and data do you have?
