| Message | Employors are free to fire anybody who goes on strike? Does this sound like the way we should be protecting our workers? And trade unions don't have to ballot before going on strike? While I do support the workers, we also can't put the economy in jeapordy, which is what you are doing sir. |

| Message | It is not the governments place to dictate whether a trade union has ballots or not - what about the need for a wildcat strike on an immediate issue. I am voting yes to this despite being wholeheartedly opposed to article 1 |
| Date | 19:51:24, January 24, 2006 CET | From | Socialistic democrats | To | Debating the Labor rights |
| Message | Nah, I won't allow it, would be bad for the economy, would be bad for the workers and bad for the society as well, there's nothing to talk about here..... |
