Default IPA election results

Yet another militant-type president voted in by our ranks. I thought we learned from the Nicholson debacle.

28% of UPS pilots didn't even care enough to throw in a vote.

Presidential Candidate Total % of total votes
Richard Derthick 699 34.21
Scott Farley 610 29.86
Robert Thrush 734 35.93

Secretarial Candidate Total % of total votes
Thomas Kalfas 1110 55.69
James Shoemaker 125 6.27
Steve Whyte 758 38.03

I make a lot of money and enjoy tons of time off thanks to our contract. Nicholson is a winner and did a great job in my book.

Sad. Voting should be a requirement to be in the union.

Congrats to the winners.

This is gonna get fun. Glad I have some money saved up.

Rock On!!!!! Very, very happy Bob T Won. Sick and tired of chicken littles running this Assoc. Perticularly concerning our contract and schedules.

Scott or Rick probably would have won if not for being spineless with UPS and the IRO 8 hour issue.

You are either flamebaiting which I am bitting on or a very senior UPS pilot. With BT and TK at the helm furlough notices are going out Jan 4th 2010.

Furlough or not, the fact that we at now will get at least an attempt at contract enforcement is refreshing! Making potential furloughs the number one issue is being shortsighted in my opinion. You probably have a long career here, so making sure our contract is enforced and also ensuring the next contract is not watered down should be everybody's priority. If furloughs do happen it will strengthen the IPA and the membership without a doubt will step up to the plate and help out fellow furloughed crewmembers.

Have you been through a furlough before ? And it STRENGTHENED your union ?

Because that is NOT what happened to me at a previous major ... I'm just sayin !
