| Message | I have a problem with allowing all workers the ability to strike. Some jobs are just too important to allow them to take off time, whether it is for betterment or not. |

| Message | STRONGLY support this sound legislation. To the Militaristic Party, ALL workers should have the right to strike b/c the Gov't should not in INTERFERE in the affairs of the FREE MARKET. That is capitalism at its pinnacle. Besides, when workers strike it benefits the National Economy in the LONG run. Let me explain: when workers strike, they drive wages up. This might incur costs onto the employer in the SHORT-term and inflationary pressures might arise, but workers are going to take that extra money that they earn and SPEND, SPEND, SPEND it in the economy. When workers consume more, Businesses produce more creating jobs and expanding the economy. Please support this legislation!!!! |
