This will be a good day for labor! ^^^
Yes, 39.7% to be exact while in 2002 it was 29%. Interestingly enough the actual number of "for" votes in both elections were about the same (5,500 in 2002 vs 5,300 in 2008). In 2002 there were 19,000 FAs compared to Aprils count of 12,000. Sounds to me like the younger FAs are pulling for AFA while the older generation FAs say no...
If the merged DL gets unionized that is the day DL is doomed.
