It wasn't the heavies in the crowd that forced people to vote the way
they did, it was the anticipated peer pressure after the meeting. You
had to work with them afterwards, and that could get very unpleasant if
you didn't conform.

Right. So you're suggesting the majority wanted some form of result you
disagreed with? That's rather different from a few heavies forcing all
before them into their point of view.

For much the same reasons, although I'm not in a
union, I take a day's holiday or move a rest day (with the management
knowing why) if there's a strike.

I would ask what you do if that industrial action results in improved pay
or conditions, etc. Do you turn them down?
