| Message | Opposed. We also believe people are free to choose if they want to become an union member or not. |

| Message | Normally, we would not support this. But as the BLP is so fond of saying trade unions will defend the rights of workers (because the BLP either doesn't care or want to) we best make sure everyone can be in one so they can have someone looking out for them. The BLP-BFP only seems concerned with profits for companies and not rights for workers |

| Message | MIP:"The BLP-BFP only seems concerned with profits for companies and not rights for workers" No, this government is concerned with the interests of our people not with selective strata. |

| Message | Whilst it vexes us to vote in support of the LP-FP coalition, we feel that a closed-shop environment is not condusive to the rights of workers. |

| Message | LLP: "Then why are you totally abusing the poor of our country? Why are you abusing the workers? Is it so you can make your fat-cat rich-kid buddies a ltitle richer and a little fatter?" A lot of the usual LLP rhetoric. Again look at the facts. This coalition gives every citizen equal chances. |

| Message | If by every citizen you mean the rich... then yes, it does. "I still dont understand why democracy means Everyone but Me." |
