| Message | Mr Speaker, The Hon Gentleman has an odd view of unions if he thinks they allow their members to work for a "minuscule" wage. Norman Wyman, Solidarity Spokesperson for Infrastructure and Transport |

| Message | To the distinguished members of WSM: Yes, "technically" the workers in the postal employees union are receiving a minisucule wage but if they are getting 20 RUT per hour (very high wages), that is minuscule compared to what they would get if they received the entire post office revenue from delivering first class mail. I yield the balance of my time. |
