Bill: Withdrawal from coercive treaty

Details

Submitted by[?]: Anarchist Liberation Party

Status[?]: defeated

Votes: This bill proposes the withdrawal from a treaty. It will require half of the legislature to vote in favor[?]. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Voting deadline: November 2439

Description[?]:

If we allow workers to strike, we must provide their employers with bargaining power as well, to keep the process fair. Allowing employers the right to fire strikers, gives them some amount of leverage. Of course, firing an entire factory of skilled workers would be highly painful to an employer, hence the threat of strike. This treaty prevents us from allowing that.

Additionally, we ought to remove the government's regulation of industrial hemp. It is exactly the sort of business that has NO REASON for government regulation, and it is only due to this treaty that we must apply some.

As such, I recommend we withdraw from the treaty, and I will follow up with introduction of separate bills for each idea above, letting the legislature consider each separately.

Random fact: Moderation will not approve a Cultural Protocol request within the first 48 hours of it being requested. This is in order to give other players a chance to query the proposed changes, if they wish to do so. Moderation may be approached for advice on a proposed change, but any advice proffered should always be understood under the provisio that no final decision will be made until at least 48 hours after the request has been formally submitted for approval.
