I realize you're still on probation, but try to understand this... a union's only strength is unity.
Unlike any other type of vote, a union vote, where over a third of your union brothers and sisters do not agree with you, is definitely not a landslide.
I.e., if your union received a 63% "landslide" vote to go on strike, there would certainly be no strike.
