“Unions need to be independent from bosses, especially during hard economic times when democracy is under threat. How will this bill protect democracy and workers right now?”
“Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech and her bill. I will have an opportunity to speak about it later, but I have a question for her. Around the world, we are seeing democracy losing ground in an uncertain economic context. Unions exist. We know that, in times of economic uncertainty, it is essential to stand up for workers independently of management. In a context where democratic rights are being rolled back, that is important. How important are these two principles and her bill for democracy and for standing up for workers in an uncertain economic context?”
