Regulating strike action

Boris the plonker Johnson, otherwise known as the Mayor of London, has told the Tory gathering today that the legislators should amend the already tough anti trade union laws to ensure that strike action is not legal unless 50% of the membership votes in a ballot. The sisters of indulgence and purity (not..) otherwise known as the CBI decided to out smart Boris and stated that it should be 40 % of the membership.

I do not of course agree with either views but I do believe that more should be done to ensure that when we have ballots the majority of members take part and we must do more to encourage members to exercise their democratic right otherwise we leave a gap for the forces of regression to attack us. It is important irrespective of what Boris or the CBI think!!
