My understanding is that the Barron can close the scheme to new entrants when he likes. It will be their new T&Cs that they sign up to. He cannot implement the pensionable pay cap without a yes vote.
If he imposes the closure of the scheme without "working together" then we can all walk out the door with Prospects backing - this has always been the case.
When Prospect have said that they couldn't support industrial action it is in reference to this proposal i.e we couldn't say " I don't like this offer lets strike"
So Mr Barron - it is not a vote on industrial action - it is a vote on your proposal. And if we say No (hopefully when!) then come up with a better one.
More examples of his bullyboy tactics to get what he wants - the scheme closed and NATS ready for sale.
