Bill: Shameless pandering on strike regulation
Details
Submitted by[?]: Cooperative Commonwealth Federation
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: April 2130
Description[?]:
| Considering that the Greens intended to vote for the no-regualtion option on strikes, and the game engine has defined "no interference" with unions to mean "high regulation," this bill would impose various restrictions on the right to strike while simaltaneously telling the voters that it represents deregulation. Hurrah for pandering to the voters! |

| Message | Regulating strikes leads to a more laissez-faire style of market, thus the present definition is very fine. |

| Message | That's not what "regulation" means, but the point is probably moot. Anyways, moving this shamelessly dishonest bill to the vote in order to reduce our regulation ranking. |
