You can't remove the right to strike. That's dictatorship-level behaviour. Fuck the NSW govt. Solidarity from Canada.

    I agree with you, but the governments have deemed them "essential". It is absolutely fucked up, and I think governments need a reminder that strikes are the polite alternative

    They can't make it illegal but they can make it impossible to do legally. Never forget that business and politics don't care that we suffer and will always push toward their own interests at the the expense of everything else.
