Bill: National Strike Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: We Say So! Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 2400
Description[?]:
| Whilst accepting that it is the right of all workers to strike in order to improve working conditions on behalf of themselves and others, and also accepting the requirement of minimal service in certain areas of industry, all workers will be permitted to strike, as long as a majority of all members of said Union vote in the affirmative, however those workers involved in "critical service industries" must provide adequate service cover during those times of dispute. Minimum service requirements will be discussed and agreed with Unions and the Government before the allowance of Strike action. Should no agreement be reached, then the strike will be deemed illegal and any workers taking part will be treated in such a fashion. Critical Service Industries include, but are not limited to: The Health Service (including Nursing, Surgeons, General Practitioners, Consultants, and Ambulance crews); The Police; The Fire Service; Lifeguard Service; Air - Sea Rescue. The Armed Forces, though not deemed as a Critical Service Industry, are not permitted to strike and any action taken by individual or groups of soldiers will be disciplined as per military protocol. |
