| Message | Some people are unwillingly forced to support unions. Some are not hired because they are not a member of a certain union. This is not economic freedom. |
| Date | 22:37:26, July 20, 2017 CET | From | The Capital Party | To | Debating the Open Shops Act |
| Message | Open shops don't force employees into supporting or joining unions and merely make it an option. |

| Date | 22:05:18, July 21, 2017 CET | From | Progressive Populist Party | To | Debating the Open Shops Act |
| Message | We would like to see union and agency shops remain legal- while we agree that non-union members have the right to be hired anywhere they are qualified to work, we also value unions for their advocacy for the laborer. |

| Random quote: "Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are like us." Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction." - Charles R.
