| Message | I urge all parties to vote no on this piece of legislation. Putting the right to fire workers in the hands of corporate leaders and employers is partisan and un-safe. What is the definition of "deemed"? It can be twisted so many different ways that the employer can control any situation they want and define workers that are striking as "unreasonable" and label their strike as lacking of adequate reasoning. It is important to have a middleman in any situation in which no middleground can be made between Unions and an employer. An employer is as biased as a Union may be in any situation dealing with strikes and it is important that at the very least, the government deals with these situations. Of course the government may be constructed of Union busters that care nothing for the working man or woman, but the government is more likely to be balanced and politically correct. As for Article one, we have no quarrels with what it does. It is important to ensure that workers' voices are heard and that a majority of workers approve of going on strike before a Union proceeds to do so. Thank you for your time. Vote for the working man and woman! Federal Independent Party President Michael Bailen Leader of International Labour Movement Leader of Blue Collar Workers International |

| Message | Article Two is worthless. Without government intervention in the first place, employers will fire strikers which the strikers will always contest, landing them in court. Same outcome, different time. The method which the LARP wishes to pursue, however, is wasteful and counteractive. |

| 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). |
