Yeah, that is how it works in Europe. In Europe we protected workers against unions, so workers don't have to be as afraid of unions. In USA they protected unions against workers, so that unions don't have to be afraid of workers, no wonder unions aren't popular then...
Right, I misunderstood which vote were were talking about, sorry. I thought we were talking about voting on union action (e.g. to strike, or to accept a specific deal in a negotiation)
