Bill: Trade Union Restriction Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Radical Party
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: July 2603
Description[?]:
| Trade Unions have become too powerful over the past three decades, encouraged by liberal governments and appeasement by the left-wing in return for support against the Right. While this may have kept the liberal bloc in power, it has provoked a dramatic decrease in the quality of the services; government is afraid to oppose the Transport Unions in fear of a strike or walk out. This is not how the economy or efficiency of our services improves; only by taking a firm stand against the transport unions can we progress and improve the quality of our services for the betterment of the public. John Giles Infrastructure and Transport Minister |
