| Message | A strike should be an issue between the employer and his or her employees. It is unfair to have unions, regardless of how many their are, gang-up on employers to have them meet unreasonable demands. Imagine, as I mentioned in the other union debate, that the Power Generation & Retail Union call a strike and then the Baltusia Water Workers decide to join them on a sympathy strike, closing off all non-essential water supply, then Baltusia could be in serious trouble. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
