But if you have not yet received your ballot by now and you're still on probation, that might be the reason. If you cannot get access to the ballot as explained above, call the union and ask about it.

Two cents worth...
When given the chance, VOTE!
Especially in the coming months, regardless of your thoughts, opinions, decisions, biases, whatever -- exercise your right to vote. The union is a democracy headed by elected reps and run with the help of volunteer committees; AND THEIR EFFORTS WILL HAVE BEEN WASTED IF THE MEMBERSHIP REMAINS PASSIVE OR INDIFFERENT.
Read, ask questions, discuss things with fellow pilots, get involved at any level, and become part of the process. Do everything you can to be BOTH a professional pilot AND a contributing union member. (Yes, you can be pro-FedEx and pro-ALPA, it's just business, not war.)
BOTTOM LINE: When the votes are counted, respect the majority outcome!
