| Message | Mr. Speaker, Who will determine what are "reasonable reasons"? We are afraid that the financial persuasion brought by capitalists will bias the determination of these "reasonable reasons" towards their own interests. Besides, it is worth hearing out what the workers have to say. Striking is a powerful tool, and like nuclear weaponry it must be used with caution. If workers resort to striking, there must something deeply wrong with the system for them to resort to a momentous act like striking. - Amelia Granger, Party Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Under the CURRENT laws of Rutania, SECONARY strike action is ALREADY illegal. If workers can be fired while on strike, what is the POINT of "bargaining in good faith" in begin with??? --The CAPITALIST Working Families Party Spokesman |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We agree with Ms. Granger, and we think that if the workers go on strike and LOSE THEIR SALARY voluntarily, sure it'ssomething absolutely reasonable. Kiley Donovan, Leader of the Opposition |
