Seems pretty simple to me. Not sure how much you want to read into it. Just a simple statement that seems very relevant to this discussion.
It's not a "vote to strike", it is an authorization to the Union to call a strike in the event negotiations break down.
To try to use that authorization in some attempt to bolster your position on SLI is pretty cheezy, in my opinion.
