MessageThis will just lead to very bad employer-employee relations. Without regulation companies will simply threaten to sack or discriminate against employees just for joining a union.

MessageAnd article three is a joke! Critial workers include His Imperial Majesty's Armed Forces (which includes those guarding and manning our Nuclear, Biological and Chemical installations), Fire Brigades, Police Forces and Ambulance Brigades. We can't have them striking.

MessageI support articles 2-4 but am deeply opposed to article 1, however I will vote yes to this and put forward a bill reversing article 1 if this passes.

MessageHas the PNF considered the impact of article three on national defence and the instruments of state control. Leaving our Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Installations unmanned and undefended for a few days while "workers" strike and terrorists loot them of their dangerous goods seems nothing short of imbecilic to me!

MessageThe SPP have become a corporate lackey. How they can proclaim that they are a pro-civil rights party when they take away employees rights is beyond me.

MessageNot at all. We give weapons to both employers and employees. If a business is behaving badly towards their striking workers, they risk setting off sympathy strikes, and facing not only pressure from their own stockholders, but also pressure from other business leaders! Businesses need some recourse to the amount of power this gives to unions and their members.

And Unionists, this has nothing to do with joining a union. Workers can only be terminated for striking.

    Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election.
