Rejected petition Sectors that are able to strike should still work whilst negotiations go on.

Sectors that are able to strike should still work whilst negotiations go on as the whole country and working class is affected.

More details

Make strikes that affect the whole country banned to a certain extent.
Example, the train strikes.
With the cost of living rising and still without light of going down,
Now the millions working class people that effectively make this country go round are being affected with not being able to even get to work!
Yes you can strike but if you are working part of a sector that makes and helps the country tick round day to day then you should not be leaving your post whilst striking.
Once again the working class people are the ones suffering the most, its our time to stand up because if we all could not afford to get to work then what will the government do then?.
Its time to bring back the common people that makes this country and culture so great to the house of Parliament again!
