Message | Mr Speaker This bill makes greedy bosses much more powerful in a unfair way but what can we expect from this obstructionist government other than being unfair |

Message | Mr. Speaker, this is a deeply regressive piece of legislation which would shift the balance of power massively in favour of the employer and against the employee. Trade unions are built on the principle with solidarity, and unless they are able to carry out or threat to carry out strikes in solidarity with each other, their power will be crippled. Antonio Rajoy is demonstrating, yet again, that he cares only about the rich and not the poor. Antonio Benandez MP (Leader of the Opposition) |

Message | Mr Speaker, I applaud the Deputy Prime Minister for his bold move against the privileges of the parasitic class of union bosses, which understandably enrages their parliamentary lackeys on the left, since they see their grip on private corporations removed through this liberal reform. This bill is urgently needed to abolish consistent paralysis of the economy through the obstructionism of the unions. Craig Warwick MP Member for Elbian GNP Chairman |

Message | Mr Speaker Minister Warwick's insane claims continue.Unions are the only thing protect workers from excessive rights of parasitic class of bosses, but we agree that union bosses also too corruptted we could pass a resoluiton about restricting rights of union bosses.Minister Warwick we are serious about this proposal,if you want to pass a bill like that than contact us. Florence McCormick MP from Elbian Chairwoman of Greens |

Message | Mr Speaker, unions are legitimate organizations and I agree that they provide a viable platform for workers to outline their demands and ideas, however as soon as the government provides them with privileges, they become stifling to business activity by effectively granting union leaders the right to spoon-feed entrepreneurs as it fits them. This is not the way a partnership in employment should look like. Craig Warwick MP Member for Elbian GNP Chairman |
Date | 22:48:08, February 01, 2013 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the Removing Union Power Bill |
Message | Mr. Speaker, this legislation represents a massive attack on working people and their families. The GNP and the PP are only storing up more problems for the future, though. In the long-run this will lead to more social strife. Antonio Benandez MP (Leader of the Opposition) |
