Bill: Unions and Workers Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Mordusian Worker's 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: November 3576
Description[?]:
| Recognising the Worker's Welfare Act as an important step forward in worker's rights, this act seeks to improve upon the situation and secure the rights of Mordusian workers; Workers who were so long crushed under the heels of the bourgeoisie, merely a tool with which profit for those already wealthy. By empowering the worker and encouraging value of labour over value of exchange, we aim to give the working class a proper place in society and bring the proletariat to the levels of the bourgeoisie. |
