Disagree. There was nothing real about the TUMI vote. The contract had been DOA for months & the company was already offering to make big improvements to it once it was rejected. There was no logical reason to vote yes by that time which made the no vote essentially meaningless.

A strike vote is only “symbolic” to the extent you understand the nuances of the authorization process, which I’m not sure everyone here does. In either case, the possibility of a strike- however unlikely- is pretty meaningful & I don't think we’ll get the same consensus in this that we got from TUMI. That’s just my hunch, though, & I hope I’m wrong.
