Doesn't matter where the picket lines are if there are any. From my side there are 1200 people willing to take action and as its form my point another1000 or so who didn't return a ballot but will be willing to strike.
Thats 2200 ish
Your conclusions only highlight your inability to grasp the facts. There is absolutely no way you can know that the 1000 people in the union who abstained will suddenly join in industrial action. Actually, what seems more likely is that fence-sitters will not take part in any strike, because it will cost them personally. A very likely scenario is that pressure from the company and the loss in pay will seriously chip away at the 1497 crew who already voted yes. Support will go down, not up.
There is an ugly militancy growing here. At one stage this was about sending a message to the company that the deal wasn't good enough. Now that it's reached this stage and the company has clearly stated the last offer was the best offer, there's a wierd blood-lust coming through from those who just want to hurt VS. You couldn't force the rise you wanted, so now you just want to give the company a good kicking.
You're playing with peoples lives. It's irresponsible, immature and reckless. You should be ashamed.
