| Message | I'd rather keep it the way it is. Services like health care, education, and transportation should kept at maximum levels no matter what. These services, especially health care, are essential. |

| Message | Since the nurses etc. are employed by the perfectly fair socialist state, they should never need to strike, right? ;-) |

| Message | and I hope they never will ... but we should not remove thier right to do so completely or else we remove all power that their union possesses. They must still maintain minimum service we are simply giving them the right to strike against non-critical treatment . |

| Message | It depends on what the critical services are, and just how 'minimal' service is given. |
| Date | 18:12:25, July 23, 2005 CET | From | Movement for Liberation and Communism | To | Debating the Strike Freedom bill |
| Message | I'm willing to accept a fairly abundent definition of minimal providing all workers have some way to unionize effectively , currently the only way nurses etc can take action is through sympathy strikes networked sympathy strikes could be far more damaging than reduced services in medicine firefighting etc. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
