Apart from committee meetings, I've never ever seen a unanimous vote

We are talking about the mass meetings of the 60s and early seventies
and voting was by show of hands.

Right - so the majority of those there.
But don't you realise such things have been changed to a postal ballot
now? With no difference to the end result?

Yes of course I do but we are talking about the facts in a particular
period in Britain's industrial past.

The current question is why is it that such a low percentage of union
members in the public sector actually bothered to register a vote either
way on a matter claimed by their representatives to be of such major
importance to their long-term well-being.
