| Message | Mr Speaker, I know of no example of a time in which employers believe a strike is justified - regardless of whether the greater public or government thinks a strike is reasonable. Employers would fire every striker, every time. It is for this reason that when we have supported labour reform in the past, we have have pushed for a provision that would require employers to seek government approval before firing striking workers. If the people do not support the employer, they'll remember that in the voting booth. Government provides a check on employers, voters provide a check on government. Furthermore, Article 2 is unnecessary if Article 1 passes. When have you ever heard of an employer who believes a sympathy strike is a worthy endeavour?! This is a poorly written bill that will result in a reduction of labour protections. We will not support it. Russell Selwyn MP for Sutton East Parliamentary Leader of the New Liberals |
