| Message | Agreed with RIP. Strikes are all well and good, but if the country grinds to a halt as a result, the unions have far too much power. Against. |

| Message | Agreed |
| Date | 18:12:13, October 30, 2005 CET | From | People's Democratic Party | To | Debating the Workers' Rights Act, 2130 |
| Message | We can't have essential services, like the police, medical staff, and firefighters go on full scale strikes. Think of the chaos that could occur if they were allowed to. They can strike, but they should at least have to ensure a minimal service to prevent anarchy (police), sick people dying (medical service), and whole areas from being englufed into flames (firefighters). |
