Seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about this vote.
The title was "CONSULTATIVE BALLOT"
i.e. do you support the BACX CC
The title was NOT "STRIKE BALLOT"
Quite simple really if you bothered to read the attached newsletter. For those who did not, a couple of quotes:
"It annexes a consultative questionnaire which is an important step towards a possible Industrial action ballot. We ask that you return it and indicate support for your colleagues on the Company Council who have been working tirelessly, in an effort to resolve these issues to no avail." and
"The attached Consultative Ballot is not a mandate for Industrial action. It is however a step in the process."
