| Date | 21:46:02, November 23, 2011 CET | From | Social Democratic Party (LL) | To | Debating the Labour Relations Act |
| Message | So the leaders of a union should be able to force the members into a strike that the members don't want? We find this pretty awful. |
| Date | 22:57:33, November 23, 2011 CET | From | SCI Libertarian-Socialist Syndicate (LL) | To | Debating the Labour Relations Act |
| Message | They can't force any members to do anything. If a true majority of the union members do not want to strike, they will continue to work and may perhaps support a recall of the union leaders. |
