Bill: Strike Balloting Amendment Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: United Liberal Alliance
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 2126
Description[?]:
| Although we only just passed the Trade Union Act which outlaws secondary strike action and ensures that there must be a vote before a strike can go ahead, I have now actually realised that there is a problem and a potentially large loophole in the legislation which i last proposed. At the moment a ballot only has to be taken by members present at a meeting or whatever, therefore there is the possibility of intimidation of members into not attending, or indeed just a few militants to meet in a room and vote and then to claim that they speak on behalf of the whole union etc. Therefore i propose with this amendment to close this loophole by compelling unions to hold a vote of ALL their members of which a majority of ver 50% must approve strike action for it to go ahead. |
