Typically TAs aren't public unless the mobilizing committee and the bargaining advisory council choose to make it public. It allows for issues to be resolved in bargaining before collective action occurs.

There's been a MASSIVE shift away from business unionism of the 70s-2010s towards direct worker democracy in the labor movement, especially in the AFL. Business unions surrender their power for short term gain. Democratic unions hold on to their power so they can win more over time.
