The more appropriate statement is "If the majority of PSA pilots voted NO, PSA pilots would've never taken those concessions." ALPA National is not allowed to dictate what pilot groups do. They can only provide guidance, legal advice, financial analysis, etc.

If an airline is BK(this is not about PSA but rather a hypothetical situation), and it comes to it's pilot group for concessions, would it be ok for ALPA National to tell management to go pound sand simply because ALPA is a "real union"? Putting pilots there out of jobs? The decision is up to the pilot group. Not ALPA National.
