Message | Paolo Conti, MSI chairman "We must say, we cannot support this article. We see it as possibly damaging for our countries workers. Articles 2 to 8 are just contradicting our program. Though we would support the rest. We suggest splitting the article into two, one with articles 2-8 which we cannot and will not support and one with articles 1 and 9-16, which we would fully support if not for articles 10 and 11." |

Message | Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri Beniamino Massa, Point taken, we shall split it in two. |
Date | 09:59:39, June 24, 2017 CET | From | Alleanza Radicale - NCD | To | Debating the P.d.l 12/4230 Economics, Welfare and Infrastructure |
Message | Nicola Gasbarro, Leader of LP: "Despite we didn't support the article about the Union, closed and open shop (OOC: why capitalist party should vote in favor for an option clearly in favor of the unions?) and we didn't support several article about the minimum wage and minumum income, we will vote in favore. We are aimed to change again the legislation. Just a think: could the "sindacalista" movement explain why a party which in theory said to work for the workers is so ready to decrease their income? Sindacalista = Unione Trader, so, or you should change your name or you should rethink very well on what your party is. |

Message | *we want also change the article about the compensation: how could be fair that between the part A and the part B, only the part A decides the right amount of compensation? (then profiting of long legal procedures which should undertake the part B)? |
Date | 12:49:25, June 24, 2017 CET | From | Nuova Unione | To | Debating the P.d.l 12/4230 Economics, Welfare and Infrastructure |
Message | Paolo Conti, MSI chairman "Well, we discussed that and we, the Syndicalist movement wanted the party to be called the "Unity Labour Movement" but unfortunately the other leaders decided that the party should be calrd after the movement with the majority. We believe that the current state of the issue could potentially lead to acts of sexism. Additionally, changing it will force the unemployment rate to fall drastically. We believe that having a job isn't a right, but should be compulsory. Why should some of our citizens work for the rest? For each their own." |

Date | 21:18:45, June 24, 2017 CET | From | Partito Nazionale Democratico | To | Debating the P.d.l 12/4230 Economics, Welfare and Infrastructure |
Message | Beniamino Massa, We support unions to protect our workers where the government can not intervene, as long as those unions are voluntary, I do not even see it condradicting with capitalism if its a group of people enjoying collective bargaining and common legal protections, especially now where their lawyers are not provided by the state. Minimum income and minimum wage are on the other hand are wealth redistribution, which we dont agree with. |
