If only 30% of the union member can decide 100% of the crew should go strike, 1 million passengers should be stranded, and lots of smaller and medium business to loose money due to the strike, that is not democratic or free society. The passengers' rights for travel is violated, the small business owner's rights have been f**ked thoroughly.
So, in this 7,000 union votes (let us call it as I do not have exact number) VS 2 million passengers and stakeholders really represent liberal, democratic value? Or it is actually a robbery ideology: I am not happy about the house I am living, so I am going to rob you to make you pay.
