| Message | 1) No, the law is fine. Kids can play with small fireworks, and leave the dangerous ones to the professionals. 2) No, It creates competition for better service and lower rates. 3) So a teacher who is happy with their own pay & conditions, may strike to help out say, piano movers? Does that make sense to you? Why should we allow one area to close for no reason. Care to explain to the students, why their well paid teacher is not in class? Do you want to? |

| Message | 1. no - why local government? what is wrong with the current law anyway? 2. no - phone services are not something that i think need subsidising or regulating 3. no - general strikes are not necessary to protect workers interests, why should a union strike for no reasons except in 'sympathy' of a union that has no relation or bearing on the interests of its members? |

| Message | 1 no 2 ok 3 ok (The state should not pose undue limitations to the workers' possibilities to protect their interests. Banning sympathy strikes leaves the most vulnerable groups unprotected as they have no means to adequately protect themselves and would require help from more influential groups. And though they are called sympathy strikes, they usually do not arise from inconsiderate good will, but rather from the sympathising unions seeing that going on a sympathy strike in some way promotes their own goals and protects their own interests [no union would go on a sympathy strike that would adversely affect its members].) |
