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: July 2441
Description[?]:
Re-introduced to the new legislature: 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. Note that we do not need this treaty to keep its provisions as law. |
Proposals

| Message | Even if it fails this round, you can see the number of parties in favor of withdrawal is quite high. I can wait till your party's power erodes completely (I'll direct you to last election, where The ALP was the ONLY party to make gains in the legislature). |
