In regards to this statement...
5000 F/As voted YES for the union last time around.
1200 F/As were on inactive furlough and were somehow allowed to be on the list
850 F/As were on the way out...took the package
6000 F/As didn't vote.
Out of the 6000 that didn't vote, there were many that are against a union on preperty. But believe it or not, it included a dead F/A that the NMB refused to remove from the list, its included people who never received a ballot in the mail...asked for a new ballot and never got that either, it included about 200 new-hires that have been out of training for less that 2 months and had so much kool-aid in their system they could have replaced the kool-aid man in those commercials, and many flight attendants that were unsure. Yes, I understand that some of these rules have been in place for some time...but in what other democratic election is not voting considered a 'No' vote???? This is why the union didn't get certified last time around.
