Message | Mr. Speaker, With this reform, people will work less, corporations will have to pay for what they stole from the pockets of the workers during all their lives. We also want banks owned for the people. The capitalists shouldn't have a hand on our banks, we should. During the electoral campaign, I met with people who were working 55 hours a week! Do you know how hard it is to work 55 hours a week in a factory with poor working conditions. They had to do it to feed their family and have a roof on their head. At the same time, billionaires are making incredible profits, earning millions while the workers are enslaved and their only voice is the Communist Party. The only party that really cares about them, that really has a chance to create a fair society where everyone works a reasonable number of hours and is paid fairly. That's what we're about! |

Message | Mr Speaker, In order to create an obtainable socialist system of popular administration & control of each industry or service and a democratic socialist society, democratic worker's councils should be also introduced, which is vital but is unfortunately missing in this bill. But we see that this is the right way so therefore we will vote for it. Aida Bat-Elle MP Leader of the CWP |
