Bill: Relaxation of Strike Laws
Details
Submitted by[?]: Silly Hats Party
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.
Voting deadline: August 2589
Description[?]:
| This proposal will allow some scope for industrial action, but gives employers enough room to stop anything resembling a communist or other uprising. Government would determine what constitutes a reasonable reason to strike. This legislation seeks to get a better balance between outright capitalism and outright communism, without allowing either to completely dominate the other. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
| Random quote: "I worked at a factory owned by Germans, at coal pits owned by Frenchmen, and at a chemical plant owned by Belgians. There I discovered something about capitalists. They are all alike, whatever the nationality. All they wanted from me was the most work for the least money that kept me alive. So I became a communist." - Nikita Khrushchev |
