Historically we all say we are not going to vote "YES", I've heard it so many times over the years, and the vote is always a "YES". Everybody then says "Well, I didn't vote for it!".
If everyone voted "No" following a union recommendation, and the union went back to the members and balloted for industrial action and the vote was a "NO", where does that leave the members and the unions?? Nowhere I suspect....
The majority will vote "YES" for whatever is offered. If they vote "NO" and then balloted on industrial action, I would anticipate a close vote, but a "NO" never the less....
I would loved to be proved wrong....
On the ATSA front... Once we're gone (as is NATS intention), who do you think will be next???
