The ATA did not recommend ratification and that's an important point. In order to let membership see what was in the final offer they had to put it to members. If they had not put it to members and rejected outright many would have been upset going on strike without knowing the details of the final offer.
The UPC has clearly twisted this to say the ATA doesn't know what their members want. Funny enough, UCP had had 2 years to negotiate and plays ignorant to this day. It's outright disrespectful.
