Description[?]:
| Simone Calenda, Segretary of the National Coordinative Committee of AR: "Mr Speaker, we continue to promote a work market really fairer, where all the actors are at the same level and with the same contractual force. For this reason we have to change, first of all, the law on the right of employers to fire workers who are deemed to have gone on strike without reasonable reasons. Who should decide what is a reasonable reasons? The employers? Too easy! As employers I have all the interest to consider ANY strike as unreasonable. And, I would underline that a strike is not an act made by a single, but a collective act, which needs of the vote of the majority of all the member of the union (or their rappresentatives). A rivendication by part of the woker class when should be considered as "unreasonable"? Who decides about? The workers cannot be influenced in such a way, or... menaced in such a way. And this works also for the Union themself and the practice of closed shops, union shops and agency shops, activities considered by us unfair and a way to influence the workers. Finally, how dare to regulate the solidarity? The field of action could be different, but any worker should have the right to express his solidarity for his collegues, because unfair treatments doesn't know category and field borders! To face all this we propose this bill" |

| Message | Massimo Meir, ULD First VIce Chairperson Obviously, Mr Calenda, you do not understand the most basic economics. Because, as a leftist, you clearly think that for some reason employers, who actually are employers most likely due to their intelligence, are too dumb to understand that firing all of their workers who have gone on strike is a good idea. It isn't. And the employers know that; however, what about those who went on strike in situations where there was no reason? Just to slack off? Because this brain-dead, leftist piece of nonsense that should be nowhere near the parliament would allow that. And look at the statistics, Mr Calenda; who gets fired, if anyone does? The Instigators. And even they are punished very rarely, as an intelligent employer would never think about firing people for no reason; and let me remind you, they are employers exactly for their intellect. Well, you clearly are very narrow-minded, and you should lose your seat, Mr Calenda; well, that is if we were to treat you as a normal parliamentarian, which you aren't, because you are an AR parliamentarian, and here you uphold the tradition of the Alliance; you say one thing, about how "regulating solidarity" is unfair, and then you want to regulate what shops may exist; and by doing so, you are taking away the rights of the unions themselves, proving just how far your ideological spiral of paranoid leftism has brought you into insanity; you fight against the workers, which you say that you support. Those are all contradictions; about supporting workers and then working against them for no reason, about not regulating the rights of the people and then doing exactly that, and finally, the biggest contradiction of them all; in your campaigns, you say that the people should vote for the AR, whilst with your actions, you show exactly why they shouldn't! Istalia is a proud capitalist country, it is the haven for capitalist thought and freedom, and you may not break Istalia, we will not allow you to do that! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT! This is capitalism, and if you protest when this bill will be thrown away; let me quote a certain politician, Mr Votta, or interpolate his words, rather; we'll let you protest, you have the right to do so; but don't be surprised when you will get fired by the voters. Let the capitalist lion roar! |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
