What is union elected servants sell you out? Are you saying that it never happens elsewhere? You know, there are plenty of examples.


You should consider the logic of Voting NO now, refining the contract, then Vote YES. There's no reason to accept substandard offerings. This is part of the game of negotiation. For all you YES voters, just watch a few episodes of Pawn Stars to learn bargaining 101. There's also literally thousands of books on the subject. No one says Yes the first time, particularly with all the serious deficiencies of TA 1.0. We can renegotiate a few things to get a vastly superior TA 2.0. Unity is more than just wearing a lanyard, it means that you have the intellectual fortitude not to accept table scraps.


Also, read the Railway Labor Act. You'll see that the entire negotiating paradigm is VOLUNTARY and is not prescribed by law. The law lets us challenge proposals and even our own union if they deliver substandard results. We don't need a coup, we just need to Vote NO, renegotiate, then get a bigger better TA 2.0.
