If I wanted to cast a vote that matters this election I would cast a 9mm ballot into my fucking mouth. Seems more productive.
I knew we would find something to agree on.
I’ll edit this with a real reply:
That’s not how democracy works!
One person, one vote. There were multiple unions that were voting together as a group, and each union represented different numbers of people.
Welcome to unionizing. You give up the voice of the many to have a stronger singular voice. Unions aren’t genies there to grant the wishes of every person that pays dues, they represent the masses by giving them a single voice. You are looking at this like all of the people that were put out agreed 100% with each other, and we know that isn’t true. They all had different visions of how things should work, and while that venn diagram had a good amount of overlap, it wasn’t unanimous. If it was, they wouldn’t need a Union rep. It doesn’t matter how many people each Union had, it was still a singular class. If you don’t like that, then I invite you to figure out a better way to do it, and then present your findings to America’s labor unions and get them all to agree on it.
When a majority of voters vote “no” then the result is no, no matter what unions they belong to. It’s called solidarity. You don’t seem to understand how voting works, how unions work, or what Biden actually did to stop the strike from happening.
When a majority of voters vote “no”, then their representative votes “no”. And when that vote is cast along with all of the other representatives, then the votes are tallied and a consensus is reached. Please don’t lecture me on how to vote, I’ve seen the Schoolhouse Rock video, I’m well aware of how things work. If you don’t like this system, then you should find some like minded people, and form a group, and then using the power of your collective voice tell the government that it needs to change… wait… that’s just a fucking union.
