Flex cable ties to uni strut.

Should the unistrut be bonded to the installations metal work. A measurement from the Starter Panel to the metal unistrut reads 0.12megaohms but as the flex is cable tied to it is it a requirement? The flex is ran from a plastic junction box mounted on the unistrut, the flex is ran from the JB to a 110v solinoid approx 1 meter away. Thanks for your help guys.

    Its always best to bond scenarios like this, industrial, saves problems later, we always expect to see bonding. There is a "guide" type of book, I cant remember the title, which discourages electricians to bond anything, although they have been bonding for 50 years. For example, the anonymous author demands a steel fuse board is unearthed. As the years go by, cables will heat, come loose and short to the unearthed frame.
