Under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), lawful industrial action may be taken by employees in support of collective bargaining, provided that they have first authorised the action in a secret ballot. This research project explores the effect of the statutory process by which a bargaining representative of such employees seeks permission from the Fair Work Commission to conduct a ballot. It will examine the impact of the ballot requirement and statutory process on decision-making by bargaining representatives and subsequent employee access to industrial action in order to understand the effect of the regulatory scheme on enterprise bargaining behaviour. It is the first empirical study of strike ballots, analysing an important public policy area.

根据2009年《公平工作法》(Cth)，雇员可以采取合法的劳工行动来支持集体谈判，前提是他们首先以无记名投票方式批准了这一行动。这一研究项目探讨了此类雇员的谈判代表寻求公平工作委员会许可进行投票的法定程序的影响。它将审查投票要求和法定程序对谈判代表决策的影响，以及随后员工参与劳工行动的机会，以了解监管计划对企业谈判行为的影响。这是第一次对罢工选票进行实证研究，分析了一个重要的公共政策领域。
