Federation News Service/Maronida Shiir gives her take on Transport Union strike: Difference between revisions

<font size=5>Y</font>ou know it's all anyone's been talking about these past few weeks. Transport Union this, Colonial Coalition that. Honestly it's enough to make this hardened reporter consider cancelling her weekly dinner parties. But honestly why should we be talking not only about those malcontents on the frontier, but giving these lazy Transport Union workers the attention they crave? Well the short answer is, we shouldn't. If you ask me, we, good Federation citizens, should encourage our leaders, civic and economic, to cancel all contracts with the Federation Transport Union and form a new cargo and supply service in opposition. We should use their own tactics against them and hit them equally hard where they hurt. They would leave those worlds on the outer rim to starve while they protest the natural hazards of interstellar shipping. But the [[Colonial Coalition]] is no darling angel either. They have written an open letter criticizing the type of aid they too receive, but complain that it is directed towards such groups as refugees, war orphans and those on otherwise underdeveloped planets. The Federation Transport Union would let the Coalition starve, while the coalition would let poor Cardassian and Romulan children die in the streets, simply because they are not Federation citizens. Might I remind you that not long ago, 2 of the 7 members of the [[Colonial Coalition]] were independent colonies. We should write strongly worded letters of our own to the [[Colonial Coalition]] to let them know that they're racism and indifference to the plight of others in our interstellar community will not be tolerated in the Federation. We of the Federation stand for virtues of peace and the betterment of the '''''entire''''' galaxy, while the Coalition would be content to see it shrivel and die so long as their own bellies are full and their coffers overflowing with latinum.
