Maybe this is the best deal we can get, but sounds like the majority of the MEC abrogated their representational duty by rubber stamping an agreement "so the membership could weigh in with their own vote."
So, your last statement.
The MEC is abrogating their duty by allowing membership ratification? Sorry, and no offense, but that might be one of the weirdest statements I have read here.
You think it is better that the MEC dictate to us what we want and get, and never let us vote on anything? If they let us vote, they are abrogating their representational duty?
