Reply to comment by lurkandpounce in Should there be a ballot initiative about repealing Section 9A(a) of a law banning public employees from striking? by 96suluman
That’s why we need a ballot initiative to repeal it

No, I was suggesting that instead of repealing it we ADD a new section that provides for an effective mechanism for public employees to force the handling of issues that would otherwise require a strike by other (effective - important) means.
Work stoppage by public employees like police, fire, ambulance and all other essential services could have catastrophic consequences. This approach assures both the services are not interrupted AND the issues are expeditiously handled.

The mechanism you're talking about is the threat to strike. If they're so important give them what they ask so they don't have to strike. Stopping them from striking means you don't have to give them anything at all
