The difference is that your girlfriend will penalize you for acting in a way she doesn't like. These reps won't do that. They can't.

They're really just telling your their point of view-- something every rep should do.
You're right. It's the MEC administration who punishes the reps when they act the way the bureaucrats don't like.

Every contract TA while I have been at DL has had "encouragement" from the MEC, they never said how to vote, just their views on the TA. Our contract 2000 had pros and cons and 30% voted against it. This will be the first TA voted on in the web board era ( my first contract at DL was done by telegraph) and I am interested to see the results.

Excellent idea. Vote based on "I've got a secret."

If that is not an emotional or unreasoned decision, I don't know what is.

AAaaaannnnndd, you get FPL for posting this. The desperation is starting to take its toll.

The sample polling must not show the results you all were hoping for.

Nope. Just looking at the different polls. Haven't seen one yet that has it passing.

Of course they are unscientific, but arguably a decent cross sample.

Did go over the TA on a long leg a couple of days ago and showed a guy who was in favor of it where his information he processed was suspect.

After another day of q and a and referencing the TA he became an against voter.

I know. Heard it in the 81 lounge from someone that would know.

Sounds a lot like what most of you guys think our "leverage" is. Oh wait, you really only have a hunch. Funny stuff.
