| Message | We strongly support this measure to ensure the ability for the proletariat to utilize its power over the means of production to ensure that they are not exploited by the capitlist elites. |

| Message | We support everyone's economic rights. The employees have the right to refuse to work, and the employeers have the right to refues to retain the employees. Therefore, we must vote no. |

| Message | Of course, if strikers can be fired for striking that greatly undermines unions' abilities to bargain, as well as the actuality of the right to strike. Striking is not as simple as refusing to work, but instead is holding out for better conditions. |
