My thinking is first and foremost those despicable low-lifes who broke the strike and abused members on the picket lines
, several posts have reported this, i would like to think this could be applied to any member who broke the strike, i know their gonna bleet on about their freedom of choice, which by the way they had when we were balloted, and god knows the amount of times a result went against my vote, the way forward springs to mind, but i've had to comply with the wishes of the majority!! (1500 and a lot of missing ballot papers )Your views are much appreciated in this matter, and especially if someone could put reasons why it can or cannot be used, that woudl be very helpful..thankyou
Cheers Macca
