| Message | Mr. Speaker, We are generally OPPOSED to the GOVERNMENT dictating the terms of labor, but since the Conservative parties STRIPPED Rutanians of their NEGATIVE Right to organize and Collectively bargain, we will support this bill conditionally. --CWFP Spokesman |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We're afraid of the bad consequences that this bill would carry, probably rising unemployment, since companies wouldn't be able to pay so many people like they do now. Because of that, we will vote against this bill. James London, DU Finance manager. |
