| Message | We have to abstain on this. Art. 1; We support the right to strike. Art. 2; Unions must be democratic, otherwise they will become a bloated bureaucratic organization that does'nt help the workers. Art 3; At this time we only support most industries, rather then all industries be under control of DWC's. |
