| Message | Workers take a job of their own free will. To then allow them to hold a company hostage is a government support of terrorism. If they do not like something about the job, they can look for another, not force a company to bend to their will. It has always been clear the SNU supports terrorism, supporting this will show what other parties do. |

| Message | If the Redneck Party cannot tell the difference between lawful industrial action and "terrorism" then they have even less idea about how civilisation works than we at first realised. |

| Message | And just what do you call holding a company hostage? They obviously cannot make any money, or provide service to their customers while the people who work for them refuse to work until their demands are met. They can either do their jobs, or find employment elsewhere. The Sodomite party continues to do nothing but harm the Holy Empire, and her people. |
| Date | 01:58:04, January 15, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Industrial Relations Act |
| Message | We would support the more moderate option where critical workers cannot strike. Imagine if the armed forces of the Crown were only providing a "minimum service". |
