| Message | IC: Do our honourable colleagues ever realise that the entire point of labour organisation and organised strike is to enhance the power of them, so that they can, in pure economic terms, match the bargaining power of the employers? By enabling them to fire striking workers without approval, the employers will receive too much power, while negating ones of workers. |

| Message | The point of a strike is to give the employees teeth and it is an expression of freedom of speech which would be absurd to limit but I also don't beleive the government should have the ability to keep business owners to from firing people they want to fire. In the current law the government could manipulate trade unions so a business that cannot afford to pay its strikers demands goes under. |

| Message | You protect a class of oppressors, promising wealth for all while wanting to keep it concentrated among a few of your boyfriends. Brilliant, but it won't help your family to get the throne. |
