On July 26, 2010 the American Arbitration Association (AAA) is mailing contract ratification ballots to all active members’ homes, in good standing, that are in the above contract groups.

Below are the voting instructions, along with replacement ballot instructions, for members that do not receive a ballot by August 2, 2010.

If you have not reviewed the Tentative Agreement for Mechanic and Related, Stores or Technical Specialists, please visit www.negotiaate.twu.org - both the Tentative Agreements and FAQ’s are posted there.

VOTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Please indicate your vote by marking X in only one box.
2. If the ballot is marked in any other way, it will be counted as invalid.
3. Place this completed ballot in the SECRET BALLOT envelope, seal it and then place the SECRET BALLOT envelope inside the business reply envelope addressed to the American Arbitration Association.
4. Do not remove or make any marks over your name and address on the back of the business reply envelope addressed to the American Arbitration Association. (This is for control purposes only. The secrecy of your vote will be protected because the SECRET BALLOT envelope will be separated from the business reply envelope before it is opened for the vote count.)
5. Mail the business reply envelope as soon as possible. No postage is necessary if mailed in the United States. IN ORDER FOR YOUR VOTE TO BE COUNTED, YOUR BUSINESS REPLY ENVELOPE MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION NO LATER THAN 9:00 A.M. ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 24, 2010.
