VANCOUVER – Unifor members at Local 114 have overwhelmingly voted in favour of job action after failing to reach a deal with their employer, Pacific Western Transportation (PWT), a contractor of BC Transit.
Those votes dot happen often enough to derive good tactical data. Most of the time it’s one vote, with progressively rare second, third, fourth votes. There’s just too little data to get useful trending.
I don’t disagree, but the three groups I said might try to infer a trend are management, the media, and the public. None of those groups are known for their good understanding of statistics. All of them will happily draw a line between 2 data points and call it a trend.
