Just out of interest, what is the legal position of industrial action if not the union's way forward? Take a (likely) example that the vote is close and ever so slightly more on the NO side. Does the union have to go back and try to re-negotiate as was more than 50% against, or can they still state that union stance is to accept the deal, effectively meaning any industrial action is not lead by the recognised union bodies - is this action legal?
I'm only asking as quite a few on this thread see that as the way to go, but what if the ballot is so close the unions do not support that action?
