| Message | Sorry, that should say that "a majority of workers approve" instead of what is said there. But anyway, this bill is to help prevent strikes that can potentially cripple key sectors of the economy and to encourage dispute resolution through arbitration in a "Industrial Disputes Arbitration Commission". |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
