Message | We will fight this tooth and nail as it tramples all over the rights of employers. |
Date | 05:10:26, April 08, 2015 CET | From | Socialist Alliance for Workers Unity | To | Debating the New Labour Initiative Act |
Message | It is meant to represent the interests of the employees, who deserve a safe and equitable work environment to conduct more productive labour and contribute more to the national economy. Sadly this can be seen as being diametrically opposed to employers and their interests, so I respect the principled stand you and your party have taken on this issue. |
