That is a very interesting thought. Would he not have to if the MEC took it to him? The national association is really nothing more than a rubber stamp for what the local MECs want is it not? I mean that this really goes to the crux of the angst that the national bureaucracy creates. I don't know what Tim O will do, but I would think that if MY negotiators took a TA to LM, and he balked, that he and I would have a little private discussion off camera about it.
