Are you saying it wasn't made by the majority?

Strike decisions are seldom made by a majority,

You'd have to explain what you mean by a majority.

Simple.
Which definition would you prefer? The government proposal is a
reasonable compromise. They could have gone a lot further and insisted
on a majority of those entitled to vote. It's now up to the unions to
respond responsibly or ultimately face more draconian measure.
why do you think the unions are bleating about the proposals to make it
so they do have to have closer to a majority?

Given we elect the far more important government with no such proviso,
don't you understand why?

That is a totally fatuous argument. A government election is a
multi-choice selection. And you will notice there is a great deal of
concern about the turnout falling below 70% leading to some suggesting
that voting should be made compulsory. The current proposal for strike
action is that only 50% need vote. Too soft in my view.
