Message | PSC opposes seditious union activity. While we appreciate the importance of a workers\' union for purposes of promoting community, we oppose its use in a so-called "class war". To suppress seditious union activity, we want to see strikes made illegal and DWC\'s banned. If strikes do occur, we want to ensure that it is the state, and not individual corporations, that has the responsibility of punishing these treasonous acts. Finally, to alleviate some of the concerns of the working-class, we feel it would be appropriate to raise the minimum wage at this point. It would send a signal that we are a community of Rildanorians, and that we need not fall into a "class war". |

Message | Since when did the party of aristocracy favor unions? This is mind-boggling. |

Message | The PA was rid of its older elements and the new generation of aristocrats took over some decades ago. While we still retain social conservative values, we did move over to the economic left a bit and we view the banning of unions to be a little too extreme. |

Message | We can give our support to this bill on the condition that Article 1 is removed. We fail to see how that is combating unions, but rather is will result in tying up businesses with government bureaucracy. |
Date | 16:57:20, December 01, 2007 CET | From | Option Citoyenne | To | Debating the Supprimez La Lutte 2493 |
Message | Absolument pas. This is a recipe for creating illegal wildcat strikes and social strife, which will incidentally harm the productivity of the nation. |

Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |

Everybody else profits. Soldiers are the ones losing their lives, losing friends, having their lives disrupted. The real victims of American imperialism are its soldiers." - Fred Gardner |
