If you don't agree, than vote against a merger fund resolution. If it passes, stick to your guns and don't pay it. At least then you won't have to worry about a TA, you wouldn't get to vote on it anyway.
Frankly, I have no idea where you were before and couldn't care less, it's irrelevant what the policy was then. The merger policy is what it is today, and that's all that matters. We can either bury our heads in the sand, or we can prepare to protect our seniority in the event a merger takes place.
Yeah, hopefully he understands that should the resolution pass the MEC, he doesn't have a choice but to pay up unless he wants to go into bad standing.
