This is now the second time the Scrappy/Admin team has done this, and it is is unacceptable. The work for the elected status Reps and are duty bound to follow their direction. Signing a TA with less than the directed parameters to play on the fear of "we'll do worse, RA won't be happy with us, you'll undercut the NC, we can't have 19 negotiators in the room, etc, etc," is simply unacceptable.
