I, personally, do not feel we are enforcing our current TA to the full extent that we should be. My apprehension with this TA is that it excuses past breach of contracts from the management side while leaving us open to similar breaches in the future.

If there aren't any hard, concrete penalties outlined in the TA when management violates the agreement, then the conditions themselves are meaningless. It's the legal equivalent of having some of the harshest criminal penalties in the world for individuals who commit crimes, but not having a police presence to capture criminals or a judicial system to try them under.
