| Message | Mr. Speaker, We within the PKPD understand the potential damage which can be inflicted by an overly empowered workforce, though, that being said, we also understand the fact that such damage can also be inflicted by overly-ambitious or negligent employers. If our honorable colleagues would consent to maintaining the current measures in regards to the government's policy towards the daily working hours and the workers' right to strike (Articles 2 and 6 respectively) we would owe a considerable debt of gratitude towards our former coalition partners.

| Message | *Articles 1 and 4 respectively. |

| Message | We the KNSP agree with the Populara Kuniĝo por Paca Disvolviĝo. Articles 1 and 4 are absurd. All workers should have the right to strike while the critical workers cannot just stop working suddenly to strike. As for Article 1 we the KNSP believe that there should be some form of government presence in wages. |
