| Message | Mr Speaker, We do believe in local communities own self management, that is why we are lobbying for rights such as great board representation for workers and DWCs for every company, not just most.The collective bargaining issue though its a vital right of the workers and local governments should not be let to vote whether workers can or not bargain, bargaining its something universal, meaning all workers deserve to enjoy it. We also want clear protection for unions to open shops as well. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We of the Liberty Party do not believe that collective ownership of every industry will be effective in any way for this nation. Without owner's of businesses being guaranteed that they can control their own business, every industry in this nation will collapse. This communist principle must be negated before our nation is swept into complete chaos and dysfunction. Milan Grbić Liberty Party MP |

| Message | Mr Speaker, This stance will not be overlooked and the workers will respond accordingly. Since our voice is being disrespected we will act. Chairman of NSU, Jacob Patel |
