REJECTION IS A GAMBLE AGAINST ODDS We must be frank with ourselves. nets A membership rejection vote will put the IWA back at the bargaining table to make a fresh start on nego- tiations. Objectionable proposals made by the employers and omitted from the proposed settlement, such as higher board rates, a re-scheduled work week with less overtime on weekends, reduced travel time rate, loss of rest periods, and less fare allowance, etc., will be demanded again. The ordinary conciliation procedures have been exhausted. If the employers should choose to defy a deci- sive government-supervised strike vote for higher demands, the Union would have no alternative but to strike. A satis- factory form of mediation is uncertain. No one can predict the outcome. With this settlement assured, why gamble on uncertainties? Our 26,000 members and their. families cannot afford a gamble of this sort for the uncertain prospect of a few cents more on the hour. VOTE YES TO ACCEPT!
