| Message | If local governments want to regulate salary caps, let them do so, if they do not, then they won't establish regulation. |
| Date | 05:40:32, November 28, 2009 CET | From | Liberaldemokratische Allianz | To | Debating the Labor Compensation Act |
| Message | The variance in salary caps would create a brain-drain between those crownlands where salaries are limited and those where the market sets the rate of compensation. |
| Date | 05:48:02, November 28, 2009 CET | From | Konstitutionelle Monarchie Partei | To | Debating the Labor Compensation Act |
| Message | If some local governments prefer to establish salary cap laws, there is no law on the books which I'm aware of that prevents a company from moving to a location where salary caps are either non-existant or not enforced by the locals. |
| Date | 06:00:08, November 28, 2009 CET | From | Liberaldemokratische Allianz | To | Debating the Labor Compensation Act |
| Message | Exactly. Businesses and highly paid figures would flow from a capped crownland to a non-capped one thus damaging the economy of the crownland with the salary cap. |
| Date | 12:27:50, November 28, 2009 CET | From | Christliche Zentrumspartei (CDV) | To | Debating the Labor Compensation Act |
| Message | Zentrum would support such a bill if we leave open the possibility for appeals to the social responsibility of our companies. |
| Date | 14:22:32, November 28, 2009 CET | From | Verfassungs Unabhängigkeit Partei | To | Debating the Labor Compensation Act |
| Message | I agree with this bill, a salary cap is highly undisarble as it causes brian drian, not only from the diffrent crownlands, but from Hulstria as one. |
| Date | 20:04:59, November 28, 2009 CET | From | Konstitutionelle Monarchie Partei | To | Debating the Labor Compensation Act |
| Message | Salary Caps are not necessarily bad for the economy. Not only would this law take the power away from local governments and chambers of commerce, it would also I suspect in several cities and towns take away the right of labor unions to negotiate salaries with their employers, an option I'm sure local governments possess, especially in the more industrial and liberal areas. |
