| Message | We believe the best way to minimize industrial action is not through over-restrictive legislation but through fair and just treatment of the workforce. |

| Message | The FPSP brings forward a valid point; however, secondary strike action encourages manipulation and abuse. Getting unaffected workers to strike "in sympathy" is overkill, much like bringing in a S.W.A.T. team to harrass people who speed on the road or responding to a local house fire by mobilizing the entire nation's fire squadrons. |
