Bill: Labor Barganing Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Holy Eliyahu Confession
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: November 2637
Description[?]:
| Recently the laws of Lodamun have changed so that unions and employers must negotiate work contracts, rather than agreements being set by the government. We believe that to allow sympathy strikes to unduly affect these sensitive negotiations will be a matter of great harm to this nation. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Secondary strike action.
Old value:: Only closely related trade unions can walk out on a sympathy strike in support of other striking workers.
Current: Any trade union can go on a sympathy strike in support of other striking workers.
Proposed: Secondary strike action is illegal. Workers and unions can only go on strike for their own pay and conditions.

| Message | Why do you fear trade unions? Or is it that you are on the pockets of big businesses? |

| Message | Is it fair for a union to use other unions to strengthen their bargaining position? Corporations do not have the power to do something like this, to let unions do it makes the negotiations inherently unbalanced. |
