That's how I have heard it also. Membership vote would be more like a straw poll to give the BOD "direction." Legally. the timeline is reaching its conclusion so I doubt it will go to the membership. Scope vs. MTA, the $$$ would have to be significant even for a few seats...but then again, the MTA is lousy and it would be a long time before we see negotiations again. Obviously, where you are seniority wise is key to how see it, and the SLI is another factor that will make a difference.
