Ratification ballot deadline August 27
Extension for members affected by computer glitch

Votes in the rank-and-file ballot referendum on ratification of the tentative agreement for a new five-year contract must be received by the Ballot Committee by 11:59 p.m. on August 27 in order to be counted.

However, the deadline is being extended to 11:59 p.m. on September 6 for 16,630 members whose ballots were misaddressed due to a problem in the mailing software, as explained in the latest NALC Bulletin.

A list of affected members and their branch numbers is posted here. If you are on the list, a new ballot has been mailed and you will be given extra time to vote. If your name is not on the list and you have not received a ballot, contact your branch president immediately to request a replacement ballot.

NALC President William H. Young has urged all eligible members to vote on the contract and all 28 members of the NALC Executive Council have endorsed the tentative agreement. More
