You no longer need actual strikes to pressure the company - ballots can have the same effect, since they carry the threat of strikes. It would now appear that a simple, well-placed cross on the ballot paper removes some of the need to actually lose money and stand on picket lines.
Er, isn't that illegal?
.... Oh, and by the way, this time it will have even more items on it ....
This implies that these items will be in addition to those already communicated, meaning an action resulting from a new ballot is also likely to remain unprotected.
You couldn't make it up.
