To receive a decent contract you can vote on is you have to ACT. The rank & file has only 1 option. Threaten their revenue stream. By a overwhelming strike vote or an actual picket line. Once you threaten their income, is when they will re-think their proposal. Forget about what the Local when they say this is the best they could get. By the end of week one of the picket line, ABF will have no choice but to sweeten the pot. ANYTHING less than a perceived or actual threat against ABF Freight's income has no meaning. Like any business for any reason, you effect their income, & they will be forced to sit @ the table & make a better offer. The problem the rank & file has is the IBT. They, not the man or woman on the dock or the street has a say. EXCEPT by voting NO until a fair offer has been offered. Action's by the rank & file can & force them to the table. No action by the rank & file, is like saying NO & you live with what they offer. Good luck. Ya all are gonna need it. von.
