Message | "These contemptible reactionary pigs hardly even deserve an intelligent reply. Nevertheless, I shall articulate that this is a cold-hearted strike against the rights of our nation's workers, which will help cow them into submission. The right to strike is a fundamental worker's right, without it all power is left in the hands of the employer. If we take away a worker's right that they have enjoyed for so long we will get demoralization and a sharp dive in productivity, which is hardly good for our financial situation, which these capitalists purport to promote." -Iosef Bordeyev, Second Secretary of the Revolutionary Socialist Party |

Message | No. Workers won't go on strike for no reason. You don't seem to understand that workers don't get paid for days they are on strike. Strikes can only happen if a trade union majority votes to go on strike. I can't see the majority of a trade union voting to go on strike, without pay, for "no real reason". Employees shouldn't be scared of going on strike, which is what this bill will do. |

Message | "I feel that the Courts will decide whether workers have held the economy to ransom for a just cause or not." ~James Allan, Shadow Minister of Trade and Industry |
