| Message | We have always supported reducing the unilateral power of union fat-cats, and we will support this proposal. If the socialists are against this proposal - as they have been in the past - perhaps they can finally explain why they are so keen on putting power into oligarchical union bosses instead of trusting the very workers whose interests they claim to support. - Sebastian Heldt (industry spokesperson) |
| Date | 18:51:57, June 12, 2015 CET | From | Linke Bewegung (Adlerist-Federist) | To | Debating the Union Democratization Acts |
| Message | We would consider voting for a reform that would have a majority of those voting decide whether or not there should be a strike. The reason we do not like this proposal is simple: It would reduce the amount of strikes and as a result lower pay and benefits for all workers. We do agree though that some sort of voting from members makes sense, just not what is proposed here. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
