| Message | We don't support this, as we think it would be a detriment to more employers and further segregate employees from employers. Tyson Hayter Prime Minister |
| Date | 16:57:39, July 24, 2007 CET | From | Revolutionary Socialist Party | To | Debating the Secondary Strike Action- Bill Act 2433 |
| Message | If employers are seen bo be exploiting employees other closely related workers have the right to stand up for them and put pressure on the employers . |

| Message | Yes, but this puts employers as one 'group' and then employees as another. Employers can commit to each other to stand firm with each other to workers' detriment. Also, if one employer is doing the wrong thing, why should all the rest suffer? The Liberal Party of Hutori envisions employees and employers working together to the gain of both parties. Tyson Hayter Prime Minister |

| Message | Workers are allowed to strike in support of others . It puts more pressure on the employer to sort it out quickly. Otherwise the employer can just let it A)drag on or B)hire cheaper labour . If another employer is suffering because of the idiocy of one then it speeds up the process and demands are then met. Most nations have have said workers can strike in support of other workers even if not closely related . Hutori must not be left behind . This bill should be passed for the good of the majority of Hutori. K.Coughlan RSP Party Leader |
| Date | 18:00:19, July 24, 2007 CET | From | Liberal Party of Hutori | To | Debating the Secondary Strike Action- Bill Act 2433 |
| Message | Left behind? People should stand for their own rights. Hutori's current position is that of the future. Tyson Hayter Prime Minister |
| Date | 21:27:35, July 24, 2007 CET | From | Christian Democratic Alternative | To | Debating the Secondary Strike Action- Bill Act 2433 |
| Message | "We fully agree with Prime Minister Hayter. Our ideology, Christian Democracy, is vehemently opposed to class struggle and prefers employers and employees to reach an agreement. If two trade unions, no matter how closely related they are, go on strike consumers may suffer. If railway workers go on strike for better working conditions, rail commuters will suffer. This is sad, but understandable. But if bus drivers, out of sympathy with their colleagues on the railway, go on strike bus commuters will suffer too. In this case, however, consumers' rights to good service are violated without good reason and that's why the CDA is opposed to secondary strikes." - Charles Henry de Berlaymont, CDA leader, and Daisy Campbell, CDA shadow minister for Trade and Industry, in a joint statement. |

| Message | Dear Liberals, If you fear a strong separation between employers and employees, why don't you support Democratic Workers Councils? And Dear Christian Democrats, No Trade Union will go on strike just for fun, there are always reasons for that. Do not forget that by law employers may fire workers who are deemed to have gone on strike without reasonable reason. |
