“Voter participation is critical in this election,” said Transportation GVP Robert Roach, Jr. “NMB rules count any eligible voter who chooses not to participate in the election – for whatever reason – to have voted against union representation.”
Results of the election will be announced following the conclusion of voting at 2:00 pm EST on February 25, 2010.
Once Sim Tech voters receive their Personal Identification Number (PIN) and Voter Identification Number (VIN) from the NMB, they can vote by calling 1-877-NMB-VOTE, or visiting www.nmb.gov and clicking the red link that says “Click Here to Vote in a Representation Election.”
Any eligible Sim Tech voter who has not received a PIN/VIN from the NMB by February 8, 2010, should contact, in writing, the NMB Office of Legal Affairs and request a duplicate PIN/VIN and reference NMB Case No. R-7230. Request forms for a duplicate PIN/VIN are available from IAM Representatives.
The correct address to submit the request is:
National Mediation Board Office of Legal Affairs
1301 K St., NW, Suite 250 East, Washington, DC 20005
Elections for other employee groups at the combined airline are not yet scheduled. More information about the Sim Tech election is available at www.iam143.org.
