| Message | I prefer a system where BOTH employers and workers have equal rights. This unfortunately would tip the balance against the workers. I oppose. |

| Message | We are still advocating a balance - simply that we are placing 'common sense' limitations on union power which can fall under the diktat of their leaders. Business should be run efficiently and unions can have power to handle and protect employees interests but they should not be run as gateways for communists to pollute Endralon's free enterprise. |

| Message | I agree with you, however if people want to stop working and strike, they have every right to and for the government to tell them they can't is, well, slavery. They can strike, but must be ready to face the consequences that sometimes come with it, like unemployment. Also, the government interfering in a private organization like a trade union, and telling it how it must run itself is wrong. And the government dictating how and who may run a business, is also wrong, and contrary to free enterprise as well. |
