| Message | UCC could change his judice with only the article 1? That is a right proposal for real democracy in the trade unions, the same democracy that we use here in the Assemblée |

| Message | We believe it to be more democratic if strikes occur only if "a majority of all members, regardless of if they vote or not must approve the strike action." If only a small faction of the union vote, then that is not a majority. We believe a majority of all members must vote and approve this. |
