What is the Government's responsibility is making sure that the contracts it has awarded for the provision of services work satisfactorily. It was self evident many months ago that it wasn't, and so the Government should have taken action against the company before now.
I find it difficult to understand why you are supporting the union in this dispute. It's a strike over nothing and will achieve nothing. They really want a fight with the Government. If it comes to that, they will lose, but they don't have the sense to realise that.

I support anyone's right to withdraw their labour, what don't you understand about that and who does wilkinson work for when he made those comments, is it the government, I keep hearing about that union bozo and his speech, that's been all over the news but the crush the unions and boot out anyone who isn't a doormat seems to have slipped under the radar.
