A strike vote gives the bargaining unit the authority to call a strike after the contract expires. It does not mean a strike will definitely occur, as there may be further negotiations or an agreement reached before a strike is called. Strike votes require authorization from the members themselves. They are not a rarity and are a common tool used in union negotiations.
