Message | Workers’ rights are a key value we hold dear, and this goes against that. |

Message | Our party also values workers' rights. However, we also believe in a fair and balanced economy and the current laws are skewed far too in favour of the workers. Currently, workers have the power to grind the economy to a complete stand still with ease, and no explanation is needed as to why this is bad. Furthermore, to allow "all workers" to strike without a provision for minimal service is completely absurd when you think of the emergency services. What if surgeons went on strike? Under the current law that would mean thousands of lives put at risk daily. PS-D wants a practical approach, not an ideological approach. |

Message | Article 2 can be changed in the future, but the first article raises a good point. |
