Bill: Secondary Strike
Details
Submitted by[?]: Movimiento Cívico Justicialista
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: December 2427
Description[?]:
| Our current legislation allows any worker to go on strike because of sympathy with ANY other worker. With this kind of reasoning, the national production would be paralized, and we would live in a state of perpetual strike. Every single worker in the whole country would have the right to go on strike because a worker from a bakery is not being paid. Totally ridiculous. Any Industry that is able to leave the country will do just that. Managers that actually treat their workers well would have their workers striking because of symphaty. Doing business in Davostan would be just impossible. We allow and encourage secondary strike of closely related Unions, but ANY union... that goes too far. |

| Message | We are not curtailing workers rights with this bill. Of course they have the right to strike because of their own problems and also to support fellow workers in any closely related activity. We just feel that allowing them to strike in support of ANY worker would end up halting our national production. |

| Message | The workers are exploited by the capitalists as a class and must fight back as a class, this bill is an attempt to break up that solidarity and class conciousness for the benefit of the oligarchy |
