For me, if scope is not strengthened, it must be an automatic NO regardless of what's in the rest of it. Scope concessions of any kind are unacceptable.



More importantly however, you need to send this back for the sake of our reps' role in our union. This top-down governance has to stop. Sending back a concessionary TA that didn't follow the will of our survey, is exactly what's needed to remind this administration who runs this union. You'd not only be doing this for you, you'd be doing it for all the reps that will follow you in the future. I simply won't be able to support anyone in this union that doesn't fight for reps' rule, and is willing to concede on Scope.
