| Message | Is Article III just for comedy value? I know professional managers who would struggle to financially support a family of four! Article II should be amended so that CRITICAL workers (defence, emergency services, etc) can't strike at all. Minimal service is simply not acceptable to the families of those burnt to death because the Fire Brigade are working to rule! |
