Lightbulbs,

I have to disagree with you, BASSA wrote:

Contained in the offer from Mr. Walsh, you will notice his insistence that your union recommends the offer or it will not be made available for you to vote on, denying you your democratic vote. For this reason alone, your union will fulfill that request, because to do otherwise would be to deny you an opportunity to vote.


They are not recommending the offer they are just reporting on the conditions attached to the offer that must be fulfilled before the offer can be put to the membership. They use the phrase
"your union will fulfill that request" That is written in the future tense i.e. something that will occur at a later date and that has not yet happened.

Your highlighting part of a sentence is like reading only the bold text from the sentence below.

Mr Walsh categorically denied that he said that he really admired DH and that he looked forward to long and fruitful future discussions with him before going down the pub with him to discuss tomatoes.
