Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
Considering the disruptive actions of trade unions on businesses, we hold that all unions should be outlawed and strikes should be broken swiftly so Tukarali can go about its business with a minimum of fuss and bother. Unions are a dinosaur in our fine nation and need to go extinct. |

Message | No. While we agree to oppose trade union excesses, we also oppose the other extremism. Workers should have the right to strike. |
Date | 15:01:30, August 29, 2007 CET | From | Bull Moose Party | To | Debating the Trade Union Reform Act |
Message | I'm willing to compromise. Workers can still strike, but the trade unions are restricted. |
Date | 15:46:25, August 29, 2007 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Trade Union Reform Act |
Message | In principle, we oppose the illegality of trade unions, as being contrary to freedom of association. We see no such reason to allow striking to be legal however; we liken striking to a child having a tantrum when they don't get their own way. |
Date | 18:19:26, August 31, 2007 CET | From | Tukarali Communist Party | To | Debating the Trade Union Reform Act |
Message | Whoa, what? Trade unions are all that keeps our nation's workers from being completely overrun by motivation for profit. Collective bargaining allows the mass of workers to sit on equal ground with owners and work out an agreement. Strongly, strongly against. |
Date | 18:02:39, September 06, 2007 CET | From | Christian Tukarali Workers Front | To | Debating the Trade Union Reform Act |
Message | Workers should have the right to strike, of course. But this right should be taken along with the responsibility of getting shot by the nation's armed forces or whipped back into the fields. We are in favour of this bill. |

Message | WTF? |
Date | 16:17:11, September 07, 2007 CET | From | Bull Moose Party | To | Debating the Trade Union Reform Act |
Message | We are confused as to who supports which portions of this bill, so we are diving this into two parts so supporters of one part can vote for whichever part they wish. |
Date | 17:31:41, September 07, 2007 CET | From | Greenish Liberal Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the Trade Union Reform Act |
Message | We'll be opposing both, but thanks anyway for splitting up the bill :) |
Date | 01:47:28, September 08, 2007 CET | From | Tuatha Dé Danann | To | Debating the Trade Union Reform Act |
Message | We completely agree with the proposal. |
