We could agree that whatever the strike limits are also the democratic limits in elections?
If a party can be elected on 36% of popular vote and a turnout of only 70%, then why can a union apply a similar democratic process to the same conclusion?
If the government demand 100% participation, and 60% majority, perhaps this should be applied to themselves too?
If 36% is a mandate to act... then 36% (when it is a majority of those voting) should be enough to strike.
