| Message | I do agree, but I am between a rock and a hard spot. By looking back on history we have seen without unions companies will take advantage of their workers. On the otherhand employee's can take advantage of the corporations. Therefore I believe we should simply draw up numerous government regulations, and allow some unions to function. |

| Message | If the government were to create a monolithic union composing of all workers, and coul control it, then yes I would go along with your proposal. |

| Message | The technocratic party agrees in principal, but suggests that perhaps the government should take the next step, and set minimum wages based on the skill required for the trade in question. However, this would make a single union difficult to manage. |

| Message | You can't be serious, people being forced into organisations and forced to pay a fee for it? Sounds to me like dictatorship, I think the current policy is the right way to go. |
