| Message | You're reinforcing the largest drawback of a democracy -- that minorities, are by nature, oppressed. I can't support a law that takes the final bit of power away from the truest of the underdogs. |

| Message | what the people who run the unions, hardly underdogs, usually they in some manner working against the interests of the majority of the trade unionist, too suit their own goals. Is it acceptable then that in a democracy minorities are allowed be behave in an undemocratic manner? Trade Unions do not oppress a minorities anyway, the workers are hardly a minority, what trade unions without some democratic procedure to is oppress the majority by the leadership of a minority |
