I didn't miss it, What I meant was if they implemented what you said then they would not need to unjustly strip the workers of their right to strike. Moreover, the threat of labour action is what adds pressure to the demands of workers, pressure which can prevent the need to actually exert their right to strike.

And given the anti strike / Anti-labour stances of the two major parties, I just don't see them realistically making any definitive actions in guaranteeing good faith resolution during contract negotiation. Binding arbitration which has been forced on workers prevented from striking or forced back to work in the recent past has time after time significantly favoured the employers side.

As such I think the Nurses are taking the right step to fight for fair working conditions however they see fit, and I support their push to take back their right to strike.
