Mr. Mike Smith:It wasn’t an easy decision, but we’ve been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We’ re only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week, that’s all. It’s a pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by our strike. But please don’t blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim.

A、 A 10% increase is already too much, and I’m here to persuade theUnion to see reason.
B、 I hope that strikes should be banned in all sectors relating to theNation’s security and stability.
C、 We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved.
D、I think that the government should give in to the electricityWorker’s demands.
E、 I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by theArmy and that the strikers should be put into prison.
F、 I must make you clear that strikers will destroy the economy andThat many people will lose their jobs.
G: We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected ourWage claim.
