The retirees will have the ability to vote and there is no guarantee that if it's sunk, the company will allow another vote after they are off property. Put simply, the fates of potentially 100ish Dispatchers for the next 2-3 years and possibly beyond rests heavily on 80 or so retirees who will either vote to protect their own pay until August or vote to pass the hit and save the jobs. Either way? It stinks. No carrot and stick, just stick and larger stick with the potential of furloughs never too far off the horizon.
