Maybe we need professional negotiators? I hear this "PR Professional" is looking for work ...

When is the Strike Ballot arriving? Let's get on with it. 98.9% YES out of 2700 will be the Final Tally.
This is how you strengthen your NC and MEC. Without it, Management has zero fear to bargain a Good Contract. A p*ss poor one, yes.

You do know that the IPA represents the pilots of UPS?

Just remind me...how many people voted for IPA contract 2006...something like 51%. I remember sitting on the jumpseat heading up to ANC after the contract was ratified and praying that a fist fight didn't break out between the the 2 "no" voters and the 2 ""yes" voters. Glad to see your unity has improved since that time. At that time I was told how our MEC cut the legs out from under you guys. Our lack of balls....
So I asked if you at least got improvements in your sick, retirement, deadhead, vacation, work rules, etc. to bring you up to our level....crickets.
Best of luck with your new contract. I hope you guys can extract industry leading pay rates and all the other important QOL issues that go into the whole picture.

Really, a strong Union is the result of the pilots' involvement. The actual name of the Union is secondary. That being said, ALPA Natl, which is great at legal representation and lobbying, is quite lame when it comes to the backing and directing of contract negotiations. I've now seen that, from my personal perspective, on two different ALPA properties.

Given how similar your 2015 vote was (in contrast to your 95/5 vote back in 2006), hopefully you won't have to pray about YES and NO voters avoiding fist fights.
