| Message | "Do you think the military should go on full strike when we're on war? Or the police, fire, ambulance, and health services when there is a disaster? Essential services should at least ensure a minimal service so as to maintain and enforce order and security. The current law does not bar them from striking." -- Francis Marquis-Duplaix, Director General |
| Date | 19:50:21, August 23, 2006 CET | From | Red Star Movement | To | Debating the Capitalism Initiative: Striking |
| Message | "We feel article 1 is irresponsible, but we support article 2, under the KSD name. We will vote in favour but if it passes we will try to counter the first article." -- Tim McGrath, KSD Trade |
