11 spoiled ballot papers (not advised to members, as dictated by the technicalities of the law), is sufficient to completely negate nearly 500,000 votes in favour of striking.
Ergo, unions can no longer strike no matter what the Board of Directors of the business in question may do to cause and inflame industrial action.

I believe the small print of the relevant legislation insists that all announcements pertaining to the outcomes of strike ballots must henceforth be made by a naked mermaid atop Nelson's column. I have made a bid for the TV rights, in cash, no questions asked.
