| Message | Mr Speaker, Atricle 5: Employers cannot fire workers who have gone on strike. (I think this is not a worthy decision because owner's must have the ability and the power to fire employees who have gone on strike without a reasonable reasons of going on strike). The ADL needs to sit down and think about these proposals). ZU Opposition Leader, Candice Persad-Bissessar |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Zardugal was at its peak the last time we implemented these policies. Also, the leader of the opposition's point is effectively moot given the DWC mandate in this bill. ADL Leader Dr. Krjstjen Schujler |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Article 11: The government requires all businesses to be run by Democratic Workers' Councils. (This is a nation founded upon the laws of freedom and tolerance. It would be mindless for the DWC to own and run every single business in Zardugal. Owners of businesses must have the ability to run their companies at their free will. |
