Description[?]:
| "This act is hereby proposed to the Legislative Assembly of the Republic of Dranland in order to provide the viewpoint of PAC and all those that said party represents with regards to employer's and employee's respective rights and responsibilities in order to provide fair treatment to all in the eyes of the law, as that in itself is a pillar of true democracy and freedom. PAC believes that a legal balance should be created between employer and employee so as to not create a system in which one group is favoured over the other, but rather establish a system of equality, where the relationship between employer and employee is that of mutual respect and dependence. It is to my party's understanding that the current system breaks the equality between employer and employee and goes to favour the employer over the employee, legally allowing the employer to fire any of his employees if they go on strike for whatever reason. The law clearly states that the criteria by which an employer may fire an employee who has gone on strike is left in its totality to the employer's own determination, as such, the employer, if he so wishes, can fire an employee who has justly gone on strike. And by justly gone on strike, I mean just that, be it for hazardous working conditions or any similar reason justifiable with proof. We propose this act which will bring back the state of equality, justice, and dependence that existed between employer and employee." -PAC Chairman Michael Benavides ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This Act proposes the establishment of criteria by which the respective government authorities will judge regarding the firing of workers who have gone on strike by their employers as stated by the law, and bound to it regardless of any changes . This Act can be amended or terminated at any time with a vote of the legislative assembly. Article 1: -The state shall create an entity charged with the reviewing of all case that deal strictly with the matters pertaining to this Act (Employer and Employee Rights Regarding Strikes Act) based on the criteria stated here and by the national and local law. Article 2: -Any worker may bring to this entity's attention any plea that regards an unjust termination of said worker's services to his employer while on a strike, likewise, any employer may bring to this entity's attention any plea of unjustness, to be reviewed further, and if need be, by the courts. Article 3: -Employers may fire workers according to their own criteria if the following is met: --Strikers question the wage provided; in such cases, this decision is left to the employer, unless there is proof that the wage provided does not meet the legal minimum wage laws of the nation. Article 3: -All workers are given the legal right to strike in order to achieve a common goal. However, all strikes are subject to National Law. Article 4: -Strikes do not have time limits, and may last until any pertaining action by the respective authorities is taken. Article 5: -Employers must, if this entity so demand, re-hire the workers in question and meet all other demands that it places. In the case that the employer wishes to have his case reviewed, then (s)he cannot fire his workers and must continue to comply with the previous court's demands until another respective authority deems otherwise. Article 6: Employers who do not meet the demands of this entity are subject to further penalties. Article 7: Workers can have their case reviewed by the courts, but their former employer is not obligated to re-hire said workers, until any pertaining court deems otherwise. |

| Message | The Popular Party does not support this bill which would destroy the economic liberalisation programme that the previous government has been pursuing. |
| Date | 09:33:34, October 17, 2012 CET | From | Unity | To | Debating the Employer and Employee Rights Regarding Strikes Act |
| Message | To be able to fire anyone for any reason at your pleasure is oppressive and anyhing but liberal. Unity supports, and will continue to support, a fair balance in the labour market. We therefore will vote in favour of this bill. |
| Date | 21:10:00, October 17, 2012 CET | From | Grand National Party | To | Debating the Employer and Employee Rights Regarding Strikes Act |
| Message | We find it ironic that Unity seeks to define the term 'liberal' considering its long-standing anti-liberal and statist policies. We have explained our stance on this issue countless times and will of course vote against it. Charles Hofstetter GNP Spokesman for Trade and Industry |
