YES -- I'm one of the guys running for Block 2.

The key to a strong union is an informed and engaged membership.

Strong union + Financially sound FedEx = Great Contract

Stay informed, engaged and VOTE.

The MEC HAS given the go-ahead to do just that. If elected, I would do as you the membership feel is best after making sure you understood all the factors involved. Aaron Hagan sent out a great letter to Block 7.
