| Message | We do not believe paramedics, nurses, doctors, firemen, policemen and essential civil servants should be allowed to strike without guaranteeing a minimum level of service. This is only sensible. |

| Message | it's hypocritical |
| Date | 21:54:15, May 12, 2006 CET | From | Growth and Prosperity Party | To | Debating the Workers' Right to Strike Act |
| Message | No it's not hypocritical, it's just considering the lives that are put at risk by allowing these people to strike. There are plenty of ways to settle a labor dispute without having to sacrifice Jelbanian lives. |

| Message | FCP, don't talk nonsense. You would allow doctors to go on strike whilst patients die? Firemen to strike while buildings burn? Police to strike whilst there are riots in the streets? Please do not support this, it isn't about striking, it is about ensuring the safety of our citizens. |

| Message | we repeat the "we're all equal, but some are more equal than others" line here. It's the principle behind it DLP, there's no picking and choosing between the implementation of equality ideals. |
| Date | 19:22:12, May 16, 2006 CET | From | Jelbék Zemojad Lofrkad Prta | To | Debating the Workers' Right to Strike Act |
| Message | Unanimously from the DLP benches, to the lone vote-less representative of the Green Manalishis, a growing pressure group: "Bollocks!" |

| Message | the lone representative of the GMP waves his little red flag back in defiant victory! |
