| Message | Malik Astori, Leader of LP: "We would be ready to support the first article. But not the second: what if all doctors, nurses or all firemen decide to strike? We let die people in needs and danger to make rivendicate economic request? We don't agree." |

| Message | Niccolo Zito, PCI 'It is the ability of all workers to strike which gives them the ability to influence society in the first place. To prevent the ability of certain labourers to retract their labour, isn't just Authoritarian, it is a barrier to revolutionary action. Imagine you were being mistreated, and yet you had to work; on pain of imprisonment? Certainly puts the exploitative and oppressive nature of the present system in perspective doesn't it.' |

| Message | Franco Ricollo, AI Leader, We agree with Mr. Zito, hence we need to privatise as much as we can so that workers can act upon their right to strike within a free and competitive market, currently the mentioned doctors and firemen all live off the tax payer and that is why we are reluctant to support this bill, if they would not strike at the cost of other citizens, then obviously this bill would make sense and be supported as striking and trade unions are normal free market phenomena. |
