| Message | Opposed. Once again repealing these laws will result in worse standards for workers, many employers do not care at all for their employees and only have such laws because we enforce them. Sadly unions do not always get the best deal, they get a compromise but that is not necessarily best for the workers |

| Message | We disagree. In these modern times employees will leave the company or go on strike if unjust things are happening. There is no role for the state anymore. |

| Message | MIP Of course employers care about their employees, they have to compete with other businesses in their recruitment of workers, and in conjunction with offering a higher salary, safety will be another sort of bonus to a prospective employee compared to a company that didn't offer it. Secondly, if their employees got killed or injured, then they couldn't work, which means they would be less productive, which means it wouldn't make business sense not to offer safety as part of a contract. |

| Message | I see these ideas as dragging this country back to the 1800s. The health and safety laws are routinely broken by companies in search of greater profits so without these laws things would get so much worse. I would like to think if I worked on a construction site or such that there was a law protecting me and I was not relying on the good will of a corporation. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
