Well perhaps one judge, they found 800 max who may have voted of 13 000, 92% of the 11 000 which did vote, voted to strike, still a substantial majority even taking those into account, elections have been won and lost with less voting irregularities than that but I bet our learned friend wouldn't have a bar of that in court.

I was on the fence on this strike, normally I side with the work force but on this occassion I think a 12 day strike was way ott and something I am sure they weren't voting for, I mean who can afford to take nearly 2 weeks of? This sham of a court case has pretty much evened the score up for me though and Willy Walsh, good God everytime he opens his mouth I have more sympathy for the workers.
