Message | Article 1 is already included in another bill. We like Article 2 and would vote for it by itself. We feel that the rest of the articles in this bill regulate the market and unions way too much and would vote against this bill as is. |

Message | We are against the high corporation tax and the regulation of the strikes, but the rest of the bill is mostly acceptable to us. |
