Labor groups demand hate speech laws by March 1 or face strikes, citing rising harassment.

Labor groups have issued a formal ultimatum to lawmakers, demanding the passage of comprehensive hate speech legislation by March 1, threatening widespread strikes if no action is taken. The coalition argues that current laws fail to protect workers from escalating online and workplace harassment, particularly targeting marginalized communities. They cite rising incidents of discriminatory rhetoric in digital spaces and workplaces as justification for urgent legislative reform.
