The choice you ‘ll get is YES or NO
My take: If this particular MEC sends a turd to the group, it will not be out of laziness... it will be because they made a strategic call that the company (or NMB) needs to see a turd voted down to make a point. I believe they can run a TA up the pole but at the same time not recommend that the pilots ratify.
Hopefully the strike vote was all the messaging required.
