Ultimately, the reps can vote to NOT ratify the scope cave-in that the MEC will most certainly produce. It will be extremely hard for the reps to do that because many of them will have never seen the kind of pressure that an MEC and ALPA national can put on them. But if we all hound the living daylights out of our reps, it might give them the spine they need to not ratify the TA. It's our only shot now.
