| Message | Mr. Speaker The RP oppose this bill because it creates a in unfair field in industries that require works to be away for long periods of time, like the shipping industry. As such if a vote is called, my members of the Union may not be able to vote as they are out of country and unable to vote, potentially creating a unfair advantage for one side in the voting. |
| Date | 22:43:35, May 31, 2017 CET | From | Whig Party | To | Debating the Trade Union Strike Ballots 4219 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Whig party completely supports this bill on the basis that it would prevent union corruption by forcing all members to have their vote counted and would thus prevent corrupt union bosses from oppressing Rutanian businesses. |

| Message | This rule does not apply to governments, so why should it apply to unions? More petty attacks on workers' rights. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
