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 2432
Description[?]:
| Who better to run these workplaces than those who work in it? Who better to coordinate these activities than those who have shown their leadership through the DWC system? Let's not be too hasty. Some industries and businesses simply should and must maintain their current owners; due either to size or expertise. However, the Government needs to realize that to end exploitation demands worker ownership. Worker ownership means incentive; incentive means productivity. Union run enterprise is the part of the solution to this larger issues. To allow for maximum worker ownership, all workers should belong to the DWC so they can participate in the running and functioning of the new DWC run enterprises. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
