Someone tell me this CANNOT really be true.

For the members to accept bad advice en masse simply to make a point to their employer, when the product of a "No" vote is the loss of all their jobs...unfathomable.

Employment lawyer here ... this happens a LOT.

Basically, many of the emloyees do not believe the company will close its doors; they think it's a bluff. Others don't care, as they would not mind receivig unemployment compensation and staying home for a while. This vote was closer than many I have seen.

I once closed a business because the Teamsters would not negotiate a wage reduction. The union's bargaining team did not even blink when we announced the closing.
