| Message | The government should not attempt to impinge on what each worker collective should negotiate with their employers. At most, the State should establish a maximum number of daily working hours (say, 16), above which the "employer" is to be charged with slavery. |
| Date | 13:28:40, June 13, 2008 CET | From | Communist Party (marxist-deleonist) | To | Debating the Limitation of daily work hours |
| Message | We support it. What with 6 hours a day if it is hard work, 8 hours a day if it is "normal" work, and 10 hours a day if it is easy work? |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
