What Think Ye?
The TA is separate from the CBA and is not covered by the Railway Labor Act.
Technically it is. The TA is essentially an addendum of our current contracts and is therefore controlled under the auspices of the RLA.
By the way Prater has said ALPA national does not have the authority to negotiate a contract for the East MEC.
You must have misunderstood Prater or he incorrectly stated what ever it was he wanted to say. National is in fact negotiating for the East as we speak. They can and they are. You are correct however that the ratification must come from the membership. And due to the tenents of the TA both sides (east and west) must ratify the TA seperately...
