| Message | The government would have you believe that capitalism is faulty and doomed to failure. However, by making the trade unions un-democratic, as this legislation proposes, puts almost unlimited power in the hands of the unions to bring the entire nation to a screaming halt. A trade union calling a strike without asking its members is the most absurd idea I have ever heard of! The Communists want a dictatorship of the trade union bosses. -Senator Peter van der Torbin, CP-Lindar Valley |
