Message | Mr. Speaker How exactly does this bill protect workers? It actively damages unions! Altarius Smith, deputy prime minister |

Message | Mr Speaker The current law restricts the earning potential for citizens, allows unions to go on strike without majority approval, therefore risking individuals to lose wages when they do not believe in the strike, as well as irrelevant unions being able to jump onto a strike, which again, can result in workers losing wages. Simply, this gives the unions too much power. I am fed up with this idea that unions are this sacred institution who only advocate for workers rights, when many operate like a business, with their own political and business agendas being pursued, using their members as pawns. Karen King (M) MP for Fairfield Leader of the Liberal Party |
