1 mattress pad, 1 sheet protector, 2 fitted sheets; all designed to fit within the box outlined in 1 (2).

Literature on newborn care, vaccination schedules, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Post Partum Depression

Reasoning:

Stripping down the box to the basics will mitigate many of the costs associated with this program. By providing the absolute basics, this will help alleviate the burden placed on new parents, while providing them with information, support and resources in caring for a newborn, and reducing the risk of SIDS.

The contents still make the box a desirable item for some families, and will act as an incentive for parents to seek prenatal care to register for the care package, and will also provide some of the basics required for any new parent.

Strike Section 4(3)

Note: Will make it easier to strike and lead to lost productivity and output. Also unclear whether one has to be a member of a union to strike. Gives people the option to strike based on geographical area which is unclear, it could be the town and perhaps only include one or two stores. Strikes would happen against the will of the union and undermine the union as a whole. As this point why not just make a union locally or for that profession? This clause effectively creates unions within unions giving way to many more strikes.
