| Date | 00:31:45, September 10, 2012 CET | From | Green & Liberal Socialist Party | To | Debating the Workers Power Act |
| Message | This proposed bill is supported by the Green & Liberal Socialist Party, except for article 4. Trade Unions represent the will of those involved in them, the leaders of these Unions cannot be the ones to solely make the decision to go on strike; it should be democratically debated and elected upon by the Union members. Unless this is changed the GLSP cannot support the bill. |
