| Message | Mr. Speaker While we are completely in support of furthering the rights of the worker and empowering the unions we feel this bill goes far too far and would be harmful to businesses and making the Zardic economy uncompetitive. We can not support this bill. Taylor Murphy Leader of the ZNLP |
