    Low turnout

    What’s going on with the UPS contract?

    With as much media coverage as this thing has gotten, paid and unpaid, how could this not be a huge turnout? This is nothing like the strike vote where there was limited time and opportunity.

        46% voted in 2018 which was highest ever.

          Typically UPSers don’t vote. Never have and probably never will. We as drivers make a lot of cash. We tend to move to the burbs and live a republican life. This isn’t a popular thing to say but we make to much money.

            Not highest ever.

            Was over 50% in ‘97 and every year before, but since majority part time, turnout hasn’t been over 50% for last 5 contracts.

                Received a text message that under 35% had voted.
