Bill: Trade Union Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Loyalistische Partei
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.
Voting deadline: June 2569
Description[?]:
| The very existense of Trade Unions fights against the basic elements of Democracy. People are bullied and threatened to take part in action they don't want to. If you are not a member of the union, you are their enemy and treated badly at your workplace. Fear puts people in line to follow the orders of the dictators leading the unions. Banning them ensures everyone decides individually about their commitments and can not be threatened into unions. Banning Trade Unions is freedom for the workers. |

| Message | The DCU is not a huge fan of unions, but we do not support outrightly banning them. Banning trade unions is not freedom for the workers. Full freedom for the workers means them also having the freedom to set up unions. |

| Message | Then we should find ways to make this "threatening" and "bullying" illegal. Perhaps, if court finds Union Members giulty for such options, the Union should be shut down or pay compensation. |
