Default You complain but do nothing about it

Just saw a post on JF that less than 3% of LEC 7 voted in most recent election. Great job group. I知 optimistic in the next round of negotiations.

I almost guarantee that the low turn out just like every MEC election throughout ALPA was due to no one really knowing who the candidates are. I mean we get an email from the candidates stating their case for why we should vote for them. And in my opinion this is not enough. I知 not asking for a debate. But make an effort to make a video or something to show your face. Talk to the block that you want to elect you. Then if we see them on the bus, oops, at a hotel, etc, we can introduce ourselvs and ask questions about where they stand on issues important to us. But if this has already happened then it was an oversight by me and disregard this early morning rant.

That is part of the problem. By design. You would have to talk to three blocks. The rep has to appeal to 3 different seniority groups.

I only received one e-mail that voting had even begun, and that e-mail said that it had been extended. I got my vote in, but I never received a ballot in the mail or in my e-mail. In the past, I was inundated with reminders to vote, even if I had already voted. This time, nothing. And they wonder why there is mistrust among the membership. I guess this really is a unIon.

Sweet me too. I voted against anyone who is already a yes vote on VBP. Which there were a couple.

I cast my vote and voted for no one. I reread the candidates statements and failed to see a real difference. When the choice is between Mr. Vanilla, Mrs. French-Vanilla, and Mr. Vanilla Bean, and I like Strawberry, a selection of one of the above seemed moot.

So, when are we going to get the results of the LEC 7 election? Maybe someone who wasn't in favor of the VB plan got elected so the MEC is asking for a recount.

From what I remember, they all were in favor
