| Message | Mr. Speaker, To ensure workers are truely represented we vote against this proposal. This is nothing other than an attempt by a capitalist party to destroy our economy and the working classes. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Why should workers be forced to join organisations they do not want to join? This is totalitarian! |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Workers should be members of Trade Unions because there are parties like yours that want to destroy the socialist system we currently have. Trade Unions are in the interest of workers and our economy. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The Catholic Political Union has always defended the right of workers to join trade unions. What we object to is forcing them to join them (and pay the subscription fees!) against their will! It is the GSP who are opposing workers rights, not us. Perhaps the GSP should allow workers to decide for themselves whether a trade union is in their interests or not? |
