Popular Action Of Society	41	Yes	PAS supports strengthening workers' rights and protecting consumers. A strong economy is built not only on profits, but also on fair competition, safe products, and decent working conditions. Breaking up monopolies encourages innovation and prevents large corporations from abusing their market power. The right to repair and extended warranties reduce waste while protecting family budgets. Six weeks of paid annual leave improves workers' health, well-being, and productivity. Collective bargaining and the right to strike are fundamental tools that allow workers to defend their interests. These measures will create a fairer, more competitive economy that serves citizens, not just the interests of large corporations.
