>Under the MPRA, members who don’t vote are considered to have voted yes. Wonder what kind of notification they're required to give under that law.
notwithstanding someguyfromcanada's expertise, my union just sends us letters. No fucks given.
That is probably the most common method. And if you think that is bad: It may still be legal in some places for the money to revert back to the company if the administrator gets no response.
Surprisingly enough, I had at one point hoped to practice Pension Law and had the opportunity to participate in the wind-up of a big US pension plan (Anaconda Copper). The notice provisions were strict, even to the point of requiring people to be tracked down like long lost heirs and annuities bought in trust for those that could not be found. I have also seen cases where Notice means personal delivery or regular mail to each person entitled to receive the notice with provisions to apply for authorization to give notice through public advertisement or otherwise if they could not be found. I am not sure which procedures apply here. The Rules I have seen that seem to apply here are not that helpful as it is probably more defined in case law. The Rules of Notice may be found here.
