| Message | Mr Speaker, We strictly disagree with article 6. Democratic Workers' Councils should be able to run businesses as they run them efficiently and as they please allow for no interruption in produce of business. We also disagree with article 3. The current system is good as it is setting in front of employers standards which they must accept, however with Trade Unions the process may be too complicated and lead to lay offs, etc. This bill will unfortunately not gain our support. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
