Status[?]: passed

Description[?]:
| For too long, the trade unions have been able to hold a revolver to the head of governments. Trigunia desperately needs a proper legal framework within which trade unions can operate. We are not anti-union. We recognise the role they have to play. We will be fair - but we will be firm too. Matvei Pasternack Prem'yer of Trigunia |

| Message | I hope Grigori Redovich would also agree that non-Rodshyans should also be able to form trade unions. As, for that matter, should women. Matvei Pasternack Prem'yer of Trigunia |

| Message | Rodshyan women have no place in industrialised jobs or most jobs really. Kitchen, bedroom and church is their place. Non-Rodshyans have no business being in Trigunia so why should they get any rights? Grigori Redovich LPT President |
| Date | 20:02:26, December 11, 2013 CET | From | Trigunskaya Natsional'naya Partiya | To | Debating the Trade Union Reform Act |
| Message | We would agree that women should be protected from performing certain dangerous jobs which should be reserved for men, but within the organisations within which they work, why should they be denied trade union representation? Matvei Pasternack Prem'yer of Trigunia |
