It frustrates me when politicians get involved in labour disputes. If companies aren’t willing to give up a fraction of their profits to keep workers happy, then they don’t deserve to be in business. “Free market” and “competition”, etc. If they won’t do it, then close the company and let someone else do it.

The fact that there are profits at all are because of workers. Governments should be representing working taxpayers, and willing to cancel permits and contracts to ensure that the work gets done if a business can’t get their shit together.
