| Message | We do support localization overall but in this case we don't. As the Unionists rightly point out, let's allow unions and employers to negotiate daily working hours. The only case the local government should be involved is if a company has no union to negotiate this. In which case we do need some laws that determine the maximum number of daily working hours. |

| Message | Apparently this is already law at this point. Besides, thinking about it we do think having local governments handle this is important. As stated previously, if there is no union at a company then workers would be in a bad situation. This helps prevent that. |

| Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
