| Message | Mr Speaker, This so-called reformation is a downright betrayal of the Luthorian Worker. Up and down this nation, honest men and women work hard to provide for themselves and for their families. It is therefore their fundamental right to be able to strike in protest of unfair or harmful regulations, or in order to get a wage increase. For nearly ten years, Shieldwall has won the trust of the Luthorian people, only to now betray them in cooperating with the Liberal Party’s foolish and deluded ideas. Alfred Williams, Chairman of the UNWF Workers’ Council |

| Message | Mr. Williams, The Liberal Party is indeed the party of the hard-working people. We respect work and that's why we want to offer people the best salaries with our economic policies. We want less taxes so everyone can have better salaries. However, the UNWF is echoing the protests of a small minority of evil-minded leftists who organise strikes and embarrass the workers with their radical actions. My government will not allow these killjoys to sabotage our economy and the work of millions of our fellow citizens. That's why the right to strike needs to be restricted. Nigel O'Hara, Chancellor of the Exchequer. |
