Our union's job is to follow its own processes. Our MEC administration didn't do that.

No, that's what you're trying to do. Our contract is cost neutral from management's perspective. That's why management specifically said that in numerous publications.

It's beyond you alfa because (and I'm sorry to be so blunt), you're a poor listener. You're like a transceiver stuck in transmit mode. Our reps weren't playing a game. Those 5 reps were questioning why our negotiating committee would sign off on a TA (without ever consulting the reps) that didn't cost the airline one additional penny (as stated publicly by management) before Section 6 negotiations even began. Those were excellent questions, not games being played.
