This is an unusual situation... there are people leaving who don't want to leave...

First, he never harassed anyone to vote for the TA. Second, every rep voted yes to the TA, they were all in agreement that this was the best that could be done at the time and they were racing against a clock for an impending JCBA. Third, how would a rep personally benefit from voting yes to a TA that he may have thought was substandard and then leave afterwards? What good would that do?

Yes it is. And yet, with the ability of hindsight now, had we turned it down we would be stuck with our old contract rates, which were even worse.
Two things can be true at the same time. It’s substandard AND was the best option to take. (Not a popular opinion)

I’ve had many discussions with people about this very thing and CAs thought I was misguided (regardless of which side they leaned on)

“Oh, huh, I never thought about it like that, maybe you’re right” is about the only thing you can add that will be acceptable to them.

Management was in an unprecedented hard spot and our MEC folded too early. It was arguably the best bargaining environment that many of us will see throughout our careers, and we blew our wad way too soon just like Jim in American Pie.
