| Message | Pardon me, it is 'ridiculous' that I MUST be in a Trade Union regardless of what I want - and not being in one becomes illegal. If that's your meaning of freedom of workers... |

| Message | Duly pardoned. I must pay tax regardless of what I want - why? Because the government provides me and the rest of the nation with a service. Its ridicolous to have unions out there negotiating better pay and conditions that improve workplaces generally and allow some to take the benefits without the costs. |
