Bill: Workers Right of Association Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Telamon Social Democratic 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: May 2164
Description[?]:
| The current regulation of trade union activities severely limits their capacity to safeguard their members interests. This results in the employers having a disproportionately strong position vis a vis the workers. This distorts the negotiations between the workers and employers as well as the market mechanism. The result is a suboptimal allocation of resources in the national economy. To allow the workers to adequately defend their rights and thus gain a balanced structure for negotiations between the employers (whose rights to defend their rights are not currently limited) and workers the artificial restrictions to desicion making and striking by trade unions must be loosened. |
