| Message | We hesitantly support article 2; however, we can not support article 1. No worker should be fired for fighting for what they believe in. Furthermore, history shows that government oversight of the firing of strikers is too easily corrupted. We hope that the Statist Party strikes article 1 in the name of bipartisanship. |

| Message | So you are saying that if a worker and his colleagues strike because they think that the company is obliged to buy them some moon rock even though said item is unrelated to their work it is perfectly appropriate? |

| Message | When has that or will that ever happen? You're just using a ridiculous hyperbolic situation. |
