Message | So workers can just go on strike for any reason and still expect to get their jobs back?! This encourages striking over trivial reasons as there is no risk of sacking for do so. We vote against. |

Message | We don't like the idea of worker being fired for striking. However, we share UB's concern, it would be too easy for strikers to go on strike for any reason at all, and for this reason we must vote against. If there was a provision that regulates when workers can strike, perhaps like HPP proposes, we would vote for it. |
