Strike Ballot

A strike ballot is a voting process used by workers to decide whether to go on strike regarding a workplace issue, such as pay or conditions. Conducted by a trade union, it allows members to express their support or opposition to taking strike action. The results determine if the union will proceed with a strike. A majority in favor is typically required for a strike to be sanctioned. This process ensures that the decision is democratic and reflects the views of the workforce, often aiming to strengthen their bargaining power with employers.
