| Message | There is absolutely no need for trade unions to go on sympathy strikes for unrelated causes. It is an abuse of workers rights which are in place to enable workers to protect their own wages and well being, not overly politicise themselves. |

| Message | You have a very strange notion of workers rights. You must count the right to starve among your tiny list of “rights” that you want to grant workers. |
