Description[?]:
| This bill seeks to strengthen and deepen the workers' right to strike. Secondary strike action has been one of the main means of the Labour Movement throughout history, therefore it is important that the government respects this undeniable right of the workers. If trade unions can't get engaged with a labour strike initiated by employees of a different enterprise of industry, the working class does not have strength after all. In addition, the current law does not specifies what is a reasonable reason to go on strike. The government or the employers shouldn't decide something like that. The workers can decide by themselves. Ernst Schmidt. Congressman, Doctor of Law and President of the Central Committee of the DKP. |
