[QUOTE="TheVoice, post: 263993, member: 12538"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]I think I understand what your saying. Only I have a different interpretation of solidarity. Solidarity does not always have to imply a collective vote in the same direction. There can be solidarity within the structure of the union itself, with a divided vote, provided that the losing party accepts the majority’s decision.
