| Message | 70 hours per week means 14 hours per 5 days with 2 days off, these can be decided upon by the employer. We see that the working hours suggested as being fair to both workers and employers, we need an efficient nation as much as we need a healthy nation. |

| Date | 10:33:53, June 08, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Capitalist Delegation | To | Debating the Nationalist Agenda for Change: Employment and Rights! |
| Message | We feel that 8-10 hours of work per day would make our workers most efficient, and so whether some employers believe 14 hour shifts are "reasonable" or not, we will not support them. We promote maximum efficiency policies in regards to economic issues. Daunte Woodson Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |
