| Message | Mr Speaker, We would like to point out that although we have no issue with unions, forcing people to become part of a union to work in a certain area is wrong. We recommend that the law stays as it is |

| Message | Honorable Colleague, I respect and understand your concern. However we must stress that it is important that workers have representation in the workplace. While we concede that agency shops make sense in most arenas, there are still certain industries, notably our burgeoning tobacco and sugar processing sectors, where there is a lack in general of workplace pensions, and while unions may provide pensions and other protections, law does not permit explicitly the investment or providion of such services by non-union workers. In such working class fields, a pension is a dire difference between a sick and short retirement and a healthy and prosperous one. Thus, it remains our firm belief that union shops must be permitted |
