Details
Submitted by[?]: New Socialist Agenda
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.

Description[?]:
| "We in the GJA still have problems buying into the concept of free market labor. Our problems do not stem from the idea of free market labor itself, but rather the problem: we do not have a free market. Until the Homeland is in a state of peaceful Anarchism, if it ever is, the market will not be free enough for the free market labor idea to apply." -Raamiah Galgenstrick, Chairman of the GJA |

| Message | "The problem we have with this proposal is how it is decided what are 'reasonable reasons'. Do we simply make a set of rules and ignore mitigating circumstances? Or is a commitee appointed to evaluate each case? That, of course, leads to more problems; who decides who is on such a commitee? The trade unions, leaders of industries, or the Knesset itself? Ultimately it would seem that any commitee would be less democratically decided than the government itself, so why not allow the government to determine reasonable reasons, which is essentially what the law does just now? This law or the current one are both a violation of employers rights, which put the balance of power between empolyer and employee firmly in the hands of the trade unions, something which only our proposed change can balance out." -Gilad Lifschitz, HaLeumit Tikvah Chairman |

| Message | [OOC] It was recently changed. But when the elections put this back into debate, I will alter the bill to bring back government approval as opposed to the current proposal. |
