Do you think most apathetic members will just vote yes or not bother to vote at all, or even vote no.
Is it in anybody's interest to keep the apathy.
And finally can the remaining 10% help sway a yay or nay (presuming that they will vote). OPINIONS.

Tbh I think they fear a no vote,hence why we will get the ballot papers this Friday with the vast majority of members not having seen the proposal (unless it comes with the ballot papers).gb93 wrote:Do you think most apathetic members will just vote yes or not bother to vote at all, or even vote no.

My fear is though,as you say, apathy and people not even bothering to read it or vote on it.A member who doesn't vote is as good as a yes vote if you ask me.

I tend to think that the vast majority of members with strong passions on this deal are against it (not just on here out in offices too) and will use their vote accordingly.
Havent heard many (again not just on here) say how great the deal is.
For these reasons i believe apathy and not using your vote would probably effect yes votes more.
But enough to affect result thats another question.
Bring on April 24th and let democracy rule whatever result.

We had a WTTL a few weeks ago about the agreement. 2 people were interested in when they were getting the lump sum and most of the others just wanted back on their frame so that they could get out and finished
If our office is like others then I fear that the Yes vote will be about 65%

The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.
