Bill: Labour Relations Act of 3182

Details

Submitted by[?]: Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA)

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 3184

Description[?]:

Whereas trade unions are immoral consortiums that serve to protect the interests of unionized workers at the expense of employers, consumers and non-unionized workers AND whereas trade unions are hubs for socialist, anarchist, communist and generally unpatriotic and un-Christian thought AND whereas the State has no business regulating business interactions between individuals.

Henceforth,

1. Any and trade unions are banned. Membership in a forbidden trade union is an Imperial Crime punishable by forced labour.

2. Private-sector employees may associate together in Chartered Employee Associations (CEAs).

a. They do not have any additional rights to those specifically enumerated in the Common Bill of Rights and may not take any action which would usually be allowed to a union but prohibited to private subjects.

b. CEAs are allowed to advocate for employee interests and petition employers and negotiate with the Luthorian Employer Association and other employers, corporate or otherwise.

c. The CEAs must, as part of their charter, promise to do everything in their power to maintain domestic peace and seek mutually beneficial solutions with employers. Any act which violates this obligation is grounds for termination of a CEA's charter.

d. Workers may only associate to lobby for their interests through CEAs.

e. A potential CEA must petition the government for a charter in order to exist and permit workers to legally lobby. A charter must be approved by both the Finance Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer but may be revoked after a hearing by any of the two.

f. CEAs or their members have no additional rights, they do not have the right to collective bargaining or the right to industrial action.

g. Membership in a CEA is purely voluntary and may not carry and admission fee, employees may donate to CEAs if they so wish.

3. There shall be no government regulations on working hours, neither trade unions nor CEAs will have the right to negotiate working hours. Employers are free to set whatever working hours they wish, employees are of course free to take a job offering or refuse it.

4. The State shall not regulate child labour through Diet legislation. If there is to be any such regulation, it shall be enacted by the Imperial Regional Oversight Committee.

5. Strikes, constituting a breach of employer-employee contract, are banned. Striking and any other kind of labour action such as but not limited to picketing are Imperial crimes punishable by forced labour.

MessageMr. Speaker,

We would have preferred that the article concerning child labor be left to local governments. However this is not a deal breaker.

I Yield.

    Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with.
