I strongly oppose the Bill. It is appalling, it is anti-democratic, anti-union and anti-worker. The Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Bill is a misnomer. The first of these Bills was produced about five years ago. Do our emergencies last five years like the so-called "Emergency" we went through during what everybody else thought was World War II. This is a chronic situation.
