Default deliver its/they membership

“The union executive clearly can’t deliver its membership so even if we negotiated a settlement there’s no guarantee that they can deliver their membership,” he said.

Hi,
In the sentence above, what does "deliver its membership" mean, please? I couldn't find it on any dictionary.
The context is a strike on the public transportation system of Toronto. The comment is being made by the city's mayor on the union leader.
Thanks a lot.
