| Message | Mr. Speaker, The current laws are already good enough. This just basically means that people can just skip work and call it a 'strike' and still get paid. And people should be fired who do that. The strikes should be for a reasonable reason. for example. unreasonable working hours or unfair treatment of workers. And the ballot makes sure that people who go on strike do it legally. And critical workers such as medical workers shouldn't risk peoples lives for a strike. -Julian Cecar, Leader of HM |
