You have to be kidding! This is the union and the NC that we have. I don't even know what you mean by "undoing" a TA. That doesn't happen. If the reps refuse to ratify the TA, the reps will explain why they did it, and tell the NC exactly what they need to go back and fix. If the reps ratify the TA but the members vote it down, the reps will do the same thing. If the NC and the MEC quit because their pride has been hurt, then the reps will quickly elect new members to fulfill those roles, and get right back at it.

A representational election will only happen now after we have a contract...if that contract is substandard.

Since that's not going to happen, you don't need to worry.
