i know last time some, or at least the IND rep (who is now retired) voted to send the TA to the whole union for a vote because he (they) didn't think it was his (their) job to give it a thumbs up or down. In reality it is the MECs job to decide if it is the best we can do. The union as a whole can only say yes or no. The MEC can say, no its not good enough yet, do some more negotiating
