One of the things Parliamentary Service is attempting to claw back is the redundancy pay provision in their collective agreement. Given that Parliament is always going to need about the same number of support staff to run, it seems pretty obvious why they are trying to do that.

So the unorganised worker public can use their right of protest in solidarity.
