As indicated by him, the Commission could get involved between the associations and government when "matters go crazy".

"They reserve a privilege to leave on a strike with the exception of that it should be a strike supported by regulation. Before you go on a strike, you should keep in touch with the National Labor Commission, you should keep in touch with your bosses also pronouncing your aim to protest yet not by a public interview… they reserve an option to picket yet not by the means they have picked this time around," he noted.
