| Message | We oppose. Unions in our current system must negotiate with corporations for bargaining agreements. If any union can join a sympathy strike it clearly gives unions a disproportionately high amount of power at these negotiating meetings, which in turn will lead to a loss of competitive advantage for companies. |
| Date | 09:11:55, September 20, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Workers and Trade Unions Right to Strike Act (WTURSA) |
| Message | Companies are favored enough. The Unions should have more power. After all, they are the ones who give the companies its profits. |

| Message | It is clear, of course, that the Christian League only favors big businesses and does not care about our workers. |

| Message | If i remember correctly it was the Christian League which lowered income taxes on the lowest brackets to historically low values, and eliminated them for tens of millions. |

| Message | Historically low values? Is that your own fantasy history or our country's history? Check past income tax cuts proposed by our party and you'll see what historically low means. |
