| This punitive measure was introduced by the socialists and must now be deleted. It is ridiculous to allow unions to go on strike for reasons that do not concern them. Why?

This \"right\" which negates the rights of the employers to run his business. |

| Message | How does this promote the rights of employers if you are limiting them? Sounds like newspeak to me. PROMOTION THROUGH DENIAL could be a catchy slogan for you guys. |
| Date | 02:28:47, October 27, 2008 CET | From | Patriciate Imperial League (UCF) | To | Debating the Promotion of employers\' rights Act of 2656 |
| Message | We support. Although the PIL strongly supports the rights of employees, secondary strike action is unnecessary. |
| Date | 15:15:09, October 27, 2008 CET | From | Federal Republican Party (UCF) | To | Debating the Promotion of employers\' rights Act of 2656 |
| Message | The FRP does not see how we are limiting the rights of employers. In addition, we do not know what the term \"newspeak\" outside of the context of a science-fiction novel that exists only in an internet computer game. |
| Date | 18:19:08, October 27, 2008 CET | From | Mordusian Austrian Union | To | Debating the Promotion of employers\' rights Act of 2656 |
| Message | the MAU does not support this violation of free association and free action. |
| Date | 18:47:01, October 27, 2008 CET | From | Federal Republican Party (UCF) | To | Debating the Promotion of employers\' rights Act of 2656 |
| Message | This measure simply wishes to reduce a possible burden on industry. If secondary strike action is undertaken, employers will almost certainly have to go through the process of hiring new employees. The previous employees will be unemployed and the employers will have lost time and money. This bill only wishes to change that. |
| Date | 18:08:21, October 28, 2008 CET | From | Mordusian Austrian Union | To | Debating the Promotion of employers\' rights Act of 2656 |
| Message | Irrelevant. People are not to be restricted in their actions when it comes to protests, and people have the right to act and protest as they wish, as long as they do not bring physical harm upon another human being. Secondary strike action doesn\'t do this. |
| Date | 18:24:44, October 28, 2008 CET | From | Federal Republican Party (UCF) | To | Debating the Promotion of employers\' rights Act of 2656 |
| Message | Secondary strike de facto violates the employer\'s right to maintain a lucratif business. It is not irrelevant. It is a colossal waste of time and money. |
| Date | 22:27:08, October 28, 2008 CET | From | Mordusian Austrian Union | To | Debating the Promotion of employers\' rights Act of 2656 |
| Message | It is free association and free contract. Also, the employer does not have a right to maintian a lucrative business. HE takes those risks upon entering it, just as the strikers take the risk that they\'ll be fired. Consent is extremely important. By not allowing them to strike, you are forcing them to work, ergo, enslaving them. |
| Date | 07:29:44, October 29, 2008 CET | From | Federal Republican Party (UCF) | To | Debating the Promotion of employers\' rights Act of 2656 |
| Message | Of course not, if they do not wish to work, they can quit their job. |
| Date | 17:41:18, October 29, 2008 CET | From | Mordusian Austrian Union | To | Debating the Promotion of employers\' rights Act of 2656 |
| Message | Or strike and take the risks. |
| Date | 23:38:11, October 30, 2008 CET | From | Union Party | To | Debating the Promotion of employers\' rights Act of 2656 |
| Message | There is no right to a lucrative business in a capitalist society. |
| Date | 23:38:51, October 30, 2008 CET | From | Union Party | To | Debating the Promotion of employers\' rights Act of 2656 |
| Message | We are not sure the government should intervene in the decisions of private clubs (Unions.) |
