Obviously a lot of discontented viewpoints regarding the TA.
I suggest that instead of just saying it is garbage and voting no, that you actually come of with some alternatives to the language that might work in further negotiations.
You may actually have the opportunity to present ideas to language change.
Caution, use the language that is already on the table because remember there is a handshake agreement across the table and the language is eventually going to be close to this. Stay close to the language or you will just be viewed as a malcontent.
Are you just a malcontent?
If you are, my suggestion for the overall good is you just remain silent.
Malcontents make people who believe in the Union process look bad. That is one of the reasons unions don't garner the support in this country as they once did.
Example of TA language changes suggestion: the TA reads
Article 22.4(b)

Example of TA language changes suggestion: the TA reads
Article 22.4(b)
- All 22.4 combination drivers shall be guaranteed eight (8) consecutive hours of straight time pay per day, if reporting as scheduled. All 22.4 combination drivers shall work a five (5) consecutive day schedule of Tuesday through Saturday or Wednesday through Sunday. This paragraph shall supersede any Supplement, Rider, or Addendum on the same subject.
I believe this should be changed to this:(change in bold)
Article 22.4(b)
5. All 22.4 combination drivers shall be guaranteed eight (8) consecutive hours of straight time pay per day, if reporting as scheduled. All 22.4 combination drivers shall work a five (5) consecutive day schedule of Tuesday through Saturday or Sunday through Thursday This paragraph shall supersede any Supplement, Rider, or Addendum on the same subject.
