Message"These contemptible reactionary pigs hardly even deserve an intelligent reply. Nevertheless, I shall articulate that this is a cold-hearted strike against the rights of our nation's workers, which will help cow them into submission. The right to strike is a fundamental worker's right, without it all power is left in the hands of the employer. If we take away a worker's right that they have enjoyed for so long we will get demoralization and a sharp dive in productivity, which is hardly good for our financial situation, which these capitalists purport to promote."

-Iosef Bordeyev, Second Secretary of the Revolutionary Socialist Party

MessageNo. Workers won't go on strike for no reason. You don't seem to understand that workers don't get paid for days they are on strike. Strikes can only happen if a trade union majority votes to go on strike. I can't see the majority of a trade union voting to go on strike, without pay, for "no real reason".
Employees shouldn't be scared of going on strike, which is what this bill will do.

Message"I feel that the Courts will decide whether workers have held the economy to ransom for a just cause or not."
