| Message | Wow. Normally, we would not expect that the Imperial Kalistan Party would go so far. We will consider voting for this, but are concerned about the effect on productivity. |

| Message | Capitalism is a 2 way street. With as little regulation as we have now on industry, we should have little regulation on strikes. |
| Date | 17:12:05, October 26, 2005 CET | From | Imperial Kalistan Party | To | Debating the Workers' Solidarity |
| Message | Let the workers and employers handle their own issues. To ban Unions from helping other Unions would be way too much governmental interference. @EPK: We are sympathetic with Workers' causes. |

| Message | As are we. |
| Date | 02:25:54, October 27, 2005 CET | From | Liberal Patriots' League | To | Debating the Workers' Solidarity |
| Message | Each worker should fight for their own. The LCP opposes unison between businesses and "solidarity" across unions. |
| Date | 16:52:00, October 27, 2005 CET | From | Ecotopian Party of Kalistan | To | Debating the Workers' Solidarity |
| Message | In the end, we have decided to proceed with this change. However, we will keep a careful eye on industrial action to ensure that it does not get out of hand and will be willing to reverse the change if it does. |
