members or HGEA members. And through the grapevine we hear <br /> from the other unions that they will not permit their members <br /> to cross--talking about the HGEA--of course, this has not been <br /> finalized yet. <br /> MR. ISHIDA: Let me speculate a little. Let ' s <br /> say the commission will leave the election as scheduled and <br /> then there is a UPW strike. What happens then as far as your <br /> office is concerned? Are you telling us you are not going to <br /> do anything? <br /> MR. LEGASPI : Yes, I think so. We will not be <br /> able to get the workers, the entire force, out there to conduct <br /> the election, is my concern. Maybe 50% might show up. The <br /> key would be the precincts, I guess, the opening and closing <br /> of the polling place's, which are, basically, UPW members, Unit <br /> 1 , I guess. Unless we physically get the keys and whether <br /> that can be worked out, I don 't know. It would be a hardship <br /> upon us to conduct an election under those circumstances. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : You said you would need to make <br /> a decision by Monday? How much notice do you need? Say, the <br /> strike is settled November 1? <br /> MR. LEGASPI : The elections can go on. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : So if it were settled November <br /> 2, you could still have it? <br /> MR. LEGASPI : That ' s right, the elections could <br /> go on. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : So, maybe it would depend on <br /> when the settlement is reached then. <br /> MR. LEGASPI : That is correct. We have given <br /> it some informal discussion among ourselves and we are just <br /> waiting until next Monday whether they have settled or not <br /> settled. We know that they will be on strike, but there is a <br /> chance that they might be settling over the weekend. We don 't <br /> know. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: Rudy, the certain setup time, like <br /> Gloria has said, if it is settled by Friday we have enough <br /> setup time. <br /> MR. LEGASPI : Right now, we are planning like <br /> the election will be November 3 until something else tells us <br /> differently. They could be on strike up until November 2. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE : What would the schedule be in <br /> the event the election is rescheduled? <br /> MR. LEGASPI : As - far as lead time, I think it <br /> will be safe if we have 60 days. It could be compressed if <br /> we are lucky in getting the places. 60 days lead time would be <br /> sufficient for us. You were saying if the election is cancelled <br /> November 3'. <br /> -gam <br />
