The elected Reps stated publicly that the TA package would go to the membership. It was never written into the policy manual because the negotiators
always need the ability to imply that they could get MEC ratification in case of a really great deal.

This is my point. It should only be considered a great deal if the membership thinks it's a great deal, not just the MEC. I just don't like the power in the hands of a few. I respect your opinion, though, and I know you are a good guy (if you are who I think you are). I agree that this is a dispararte group, and it will be an interesting vote when we get to one.
