Hi Selma Thanks for your further well informed response about labour relations and the vital need for worker protection at many levels. Yes, I am aware of the Goa roots of this discussion.
For me, understanding the philosophy, theory and practice, and particularly the changing underpinnings of legislation, helped greatly when chairing recruitment boards over several years and also when arbitrating over disputes. Sadly, Mario must think we were born yesterday to even remotely entertain his right-wing reactionary views on labour relations/protection. I am sure, as always, he'd want the last word on this issue but I would rather welcome from him his FIRST EVER substantive piece on this or any other issue instead of being a constant critic of everything else that other people take the trouble to think and write about in the first place on Goanet.
