Bill: Correcting the Rights of Workers on Strike
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Centrist 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.

Description[?]:
| If an employer is allowed to fire anyone who goes on strike, there is no point in allowing strikes in the first place.

Old value:: Employers are free to fire workers who go on strike.
Current: Employers cannot fire workers who have gone on strike.

| Message | Incidentally there can be no neutral body, the state is never neutral but tends to represent the interests of the dominant group in society. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
