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...?

Shouldn't be an issue to have the same sort of thing for parliamentary
elections either. Some form of compulsory voting. Other countries do it.
And the same for voting within parliament.
