Message | We would prefer that striking workers have reasonable cause to strike, as giving them freedom to strike at any time and keep their jobs gives room for less than honorable types using the law as a shield, if they want time off and their employers cannot grant it for whatever reason. "Don't like your hours? Just strike!" On the point of Secondary Strike Action, the SIP would support this bill. So long as the provision is made (as mentioned in another bill) that vital services are not shut down, then we fully support this article. If a way can be found to close the loophole in the first case, then SIP will gladly support this bill. |

Message | After some thought, we will move to support this bill as it stands. Further action can be taken to secure the honesty of workers in regards to strikes, if necessary. Job Abandonment by Strike should be a fully acceptable way of losing one's job, if there are no reasons whatsoever for a strike. Simply not liking one's scheduled hours, for instance, is not grounds for a strike. Being given hours that you are incapable of working (and have informed the employer of this in advance), may be cause for a strike. Being expected to work twice the scheduled hours of any other employee for the same (or lower) level of may, is most definitely a reason for strike. This distinction should be made, so as to protect employers. ((OOC: I've worked minimum wage jobs, and I know firsthand that if you tell someone "If you go on strike they can't fire you", they'll take it to mean they can get any day off they want just so long as they say they're on strike. This sort of behavior would not be at all uncommon, and in fact I would suspect almost all of my previous co-workers of such behaviors.)) |

Message | OOC: This is technically a positioning bill, if I was gonna make one that I wanted to pass I'd add more to it and do RP for it. And yep, this is indeed only my 200th bill using the labeling system, I made alot of bills before the system and I've made probably 20 bills not using the system while I was using it normally. Oh, and yes I have been around awhile I'm the oldest continuous party and the second oldest party in general, the first being AUP. |
