| Message | 1: Agree. This barbrous relic of the Middle Ages has no place in our great nation. 2:We strongly support Affirmative Action, and would prefer for a policy to allow that. However, we are willing to accept this change instead. 3: While we support regulations on prostitiution for the health and saftey of sex workers, we do not think that a business of questionable morality should be run by the government. Opposed. 4:Agreed. 5: While we STRONGLY support the rights of workers to organize, bargain, and strike, we feel that there should be some safeguards in place to prevent abuse of the system. We feel that this change would endanger our public services during strikes, and are therefore opposed. 6:We support this change. Unipons should be protected against both organized crime, and the domination of employers, and we feel that this is the best way to do so. 7:While we support DWC's and worker control in the "commanding heights" of the economy, and large businesses, we feel that small buisnessess and individually owned stores should be given an exception to this rule. Opposed. |
