| Message | Again, way to keep our employees in chains... I suppose they are subhumans who are not allowed to be given the same rights and benefit from the same laws as others. We let others strike but not them, sounds hypocritical. We tell corporations that they can't exploit or treat their workers badly, and yet here we are doing it to our own. |

| Message | I love how the TCP puts words into people's mouths. No they aren't subhuman but they are vital to running our country. If they go on strike, services will be deminished and people won't get their checks. I do not want people having to live off of life savings because the unions decided to go on strike. |

| Message | Which is why the proposed law states that these services must be at least be running to ensure a minimal service. So this strikes a fair balance: they would be allowed to strike but at the same time still have to keep these services running. |

| Message | OK do the other parties have any say in this or is this a two-party debate? |
