“It is as though Centrist Zone has taken to the law book and tried to alter every law which currently gives the ordinary Avalonian any semblance of protection. Now it is gig workers, minimum wage workers and consumers bearing the brunt of these inhumane changes - they seek to put power back into the hands of big business, and open the floor for rampant exploitation of consumers and those on a minimum wage. We ardently oppose this blatant exploitation of Avalon's people.”
