| Message | If employers cannot fire workers who have gone on strike, then there is no downside for a worker to strike, no risk. This would allow workers to strike over the most trivial matters, wasting precious factory time and potentially driving particularly delicate corporations out of business. Conversely, if employers are free to fire workers who go on strike, then there is an element of genuine risk, meaning that workers will only strike for legitimate concerns. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
