Why should i be more forgiving of strike breakers as i've already stated they undermine the power of the unions.i'm entitled to my opinion just like your entitled to yours.
And with regards to your point about the ballot box and if it can be trusted or not,i suppose it depends who's holding the ballot and who touches the box.
if it was to ballot for a strike and it was held by the union i would trust it and be bound by the result.but if any member of the management touched it with out a union member there i wouldn't trust it to be a fair ballot at all and would ask for the ballot to be retaken..
