Bill: Right To Protest Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Labour 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: April 3095
Description[?]:
| Employers have no right, absolutely no right whatsoever to sack people who have gone on strike. To me, this is just an invasion of freedom of speech and it is curtailing civil liberties. Why should an employee get sacked if he just protests for greater rights in his workplace? How is that possible, the current law is unfair and unjust. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Employer's rights in regards to firing striking workers.
Old value:: Employers can fire workers who are deemed to have gone on strike without reasonable reasons.
Current: Employers cannot fire workers who have gone on strike.
Proposed: Employers cannot fire workers who have gone on strike.

| Message | If someone goes on strike because their boss wouldnt give them time off would just be pretty stupid reason to go on strike and some people are stupid enough to acctualy go on strike for a reason like that or like they want a 200,000 bonus when they are a CSR or Cashier, that isn't reasonable. The party has supported the current policy for many years plus I believe someone can appeal if they are fired while on strike if they believe their reasons were reasonable and maybe an employer took advantage of this law. |

| Message | We agree completely with the Labour Party. And, with all due respect, the People's Party is inventing a most incredible scenario. The truth is that a worker actually loses on his salary when he strikes, and he never strikes alone. When workers strike, they strike in groups (since that's the way to have strength) and they always do it for a good reason (since they are risking losing money at the end of the month). Any strike has reasonable reasons. |

| Message | I think the People's Party is using a wild and highly unlikely scenario in their justification for their vote. People strike because they feel that they need greater rights in their workplace, nobody just wakes up one day and says "Right, today I'm going on a strike.". Even further is that strikers don't get paid in their jobs so they wouldn't be doing it just t stir their superiors. |
