An election in which only 29 percent of us bothered to vote. 126,640 members did not even vote!

It wasn’t much of an election. I abstained from voting because I’m not confident with either caucus.
Unity has agreed to higher wages at the expense of seniority rights, longer hours, and a longer school year. The $750 was a clear bribe and turned me off.
ICE-TJC wasn’t specific enough on what strategies they would use to reverse the givebacks from the last few contracts.
Overall, not much of a choice.
