Flyluke,
Yes, union members are entitled to vote however they want. The problem a lot of us have with the union is that they have time and time again lied to their members. This has been proven as well, several times.
If members want to vote yes, that's up to them, but they should at least be able to have access to facts and correct information, and not rhetoric and lies from their union "leaders".
Some of us have seen through this, and more are following in our footsteps.
In the case about unite and bassa, it has been reported here continuously that nobody is "allowed" to ask difficult questions of the union. When you have reps and union "leaders" behaving like this, it's very difficult for a lot of people to make sense of it all.
Hopefully, common sense will prevail, and there will be no drawn-out strike. By the looks of things, more and more people are contacting the PCCC looking for facts and information as well as reassurance.
