| Message | Mr. Speaker, We would like to open this bill to debate. |
| Date | 22:07:05, April 28, 2017 CET | From | Patriots Party | To | Debating the D.11.4202. - The Collective Bargaining and Labour Rights Act |
| Message | Government approval for firing strikers? This is ridiculous and interferes with the market. Firing strikers is often a measure of last resort, and should be an option in the worst case scenario. Involving government in private sector issues, is asking for trouble. |
| Date | 00:41:24, April 29, 2017 CET | From | Association of Consumers and Taxpayers | To | Debating the D.11.4202. - The Collective Bargaining and Labour Rights Act |
| Message | ACT seconds the Party of Patriots on this one. The government should play a minimal role in private employment. We remain confounded that there is any debate over whether absenteeism should count as legal grounds for termination. We stand for balanced labour laws and feel that the current legislation, by asserting the employer's right to address attendance issues, best accomplishes this goal. |

| Message | This will go some way toward creating a fair and balanced economy. |
| Date | 17:38:44, April 29, 2017 CET | From | Association of Consumers and Taxpayers | To | Debating the D.11.4202. - The Collective Bargaining and Labour Rights Act |
| Message | We ask Progression why they think that limiting the employer's right to terminate unattendant employees is 'fair and balanced'. Labour markets are already quite inefficient as is so ACT questions why Progression is so excited to task yet another bureaucratic monolith with decision-making that is more properly and fairly assessed at the employer level. We reaffirm our belief that employers should have the right to terminate striking employees. Striking constitutes an unexcused absence and should be grounds for dismissal. |
| Date | 19:48:31, April 29, 2017 CET | From | Progression | To | Debating the D.11.4202. - The Collective Bargaining and Labour Rights Act |
| Message | Striking is a democratic exercise of opposition to exploitation. |
