This was several days later than we would have liked, but as Donald Rumsfeld taught us long ago, you conduct elections with the third-party contractors you have, not the ones that may be more ideal.
The packets contain:
1) The Memorandum of Agreement.
2) An FAQ (frequently asked questions) fact sheet.
3) A ballot and prepaid envelope.
To refresh memories: TAG-AMPTP negotiations concluded in mid-June. Then, a month later, the Memorandum of Agreement was drafted, discussed, and revised. In broad strokes, the overall deal includes:
Two percent (2%) annual compounded wage increases. Health, pension and IAP benefits are to be provided under the terms of the IATSE Basic Agreement ($5 per hour increased to $6.) Other provisions of the new agreement include a new storyboard revisionist classification, and changes to the talent development program and the DreamWorks Animation wage minimums. ...
Voting concludes at the end of the month. After the vote is tallied, we will post ratification votes here, also notify members bye e-mail.
Each vote is important. It's what democratic unionism is about. So when you receive your ballot and accompanying materials, don't set them aside. Sit down, read through them and get the ballot in the mail.
