| Message | The fact has been ignored that the motives for striking are legal but strikes are illegal, this bill fixes that and amends the ballot laws for unions. We encourage all parties to vote for this bill. The National Congress Party has shown the will to compromise and reform and we would like a goodwill gesture in return. |
