Vote? Like how they voted for a Retention Bonus that ruined all leverage in negotiations and handcuffed so many from leaving? Or like the vote to remove the union prez and replace him by Toonster nationals with their own self-interest to prevent any contract? Or like the vote for ALPA while they attacked members and threatened them with legal action for pushing cards and then told them they would lose HUNDEREDS OF THOUSANDS in retention bonus payouts if they left Toonsters? Oh wait......there was no vote for any of that. So why expect a vote now?
