From their update: '... However, as the Government’s argument hinges on a technicality, union members will be able to resume action after conducting another Protected Action Ballot. Plans are already in motion to conduct this ballot as quickly as possible, and we’ll update members as soon as voting begins. Please keep an eye on your emails in the coming days'
I'm always confused when this crap happens. How can a court even block a strike? It isn't like they can force people to go to work. If they decided to just not show up for work anyways what would the court do?
