Date | 22:01:17, December 02, 2012 CET | From | Zardio Federisma Partio | To | Debating the New Labour and Economic Reform Act |
Message | We oppose all articles but 3. Child benefit policies must remain the domain of local government because the welfare of each family varies from state to state and it would be an impossible task by the federal government to take that over and begin administering it. Keep it local, the best control is there. We oppose letting PUBLIC sector workers bargain collectively because then it puts a government shutdown at risk, and government provides needed services that can't be obtained elsewhere. We can support devolution of this issues but not full implementation nationally. We totoly oppose 4 because that can endanger the whole national economy and our collectively livelihood. Workers should have the right to strike, but not to strike for others. Again this endangers the national exonomy and can lead to severe labour problems down the road. |
