| Message | How does withdrawing from the international bill of rights empower the citizens? |
| Date | 23:55:13, May 27, 2006 CET | From | Lodamun Values Party | To | Debating the Citizen Rights Empowerment |
| Message | Because the bill of rights is restrictive. We cannot for instance allow compulsorary Unionisim. This would be a big step for Workers rights. |

| Message | Will not be supporting this, compulsorary unionism and citizens rights are mutually exclusive anyway, how can a citizen exercise his 'rights' if he is forced to join a union, he does not have the choice not to join |

| Message | When did workers get involved in this? And what do you mean by compulsory unionism? Do you mean agreeing to international powers and being united with them by accepting a treaty? |

| Message | With voluntairy unionisim union participation is dying out as we enter an age of individual contracts. This gives the employer more power in negiotiations as they can simply refuse demands playing one employee off against another. By making joining a union compulsorary it puts power back into the hands of the workers. A citizen can of course be a conscienous objector thereby giving workers more rights. This was just an example of how this so called human rights treaty does not give equal rights to all citizens of our hallowed country. |

| Message | Compulsery unionism would give workers more rights but it should be their choice to join a union. There is also a difference between human rights and worker's rights, unless workers are working long hard days and don't get enough money to lfe properly. |
