strike ballots are yes/no choices


Really? No undecided allowed?


No undecided are allowed, at best the unions used to have another show
of hands in favour of their motion if they thought people would change
their minds.


Care to run that by me again in English?

The vote for action is always a majority of those that
voted, not those that voted against + those that didn't vote. The unions
don't like the idea that it should be a majority of those involved.


Like a vote in the House of Commons, then?
