| Message | These laws are absolutely necessary for the protection of workers' power in the workforce. The proposed positions specifically balance the negotiating field between employers and workers. Without anyone of these, employers gain the upper hand in all negotiations, and this certainly violates the Brethrenist principles of equality among all people in the society. We call on all progressive Parties to support this bill, which rectifies the changes made in the recent economic Act. |
