Unison: Not So United

The announcement of the Unison ballot result shows how little support the posturing union leadership, with its trade mark confrontational style, actually has among its rank and file. A 29% turnout is a slap in the face for any idea of an angry membership spoiling for a strike. Of those 78% voted for action; that is 22% of the total membership. Such strikes, putting innocent members of the public to great inconvenience at a tough time for everybody should not be legal.

The government should legislate that for a strike to be valid, an actual majority of all members must vote for it. Simple.
