| Message | Our only departure from a strict regulator stance is the Saiserist League's hatred of strikes. Workers have no right to question their masters, and no right to rebel on their own accord. Particularly a sympathy rebellion. |
| Date | 10:00:01, May 14, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Trade Unionist Party | To | Debating the Sympathy Strike Reform |
| Message | We cannot abide this suggestion, the workers should be free to argue their case to the employers in a way that will make them listen. Democracy in action! |
