In general, things only ever get near a vote for industrial action when
negotiations have failed. And the workforce are well aware of this. I've
personally never seen any vote for industrial action where the result
wasn't an overwhelming majority in favour. Can't really see any point in
going to the vote if you don't already know there is a big majority in
favour of it.

So a requirement for 40% of those eligible to be in support _really_
shouldn't be a big issue, should it...?
