Bill: Firing Strikers Policy
Details
Submitted by[?]: Freedom 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 3770
Description[?]:
| Productivity is not only good for the company´s sake, it is good for the workers of that company and it is also good for consumers that buy products from that certain company. With no productivity there´s no cash flow in the company, with no cash flow the company goes bankrupt and everyone goes home losing, the CEO lose his company, the workers lose their jobs. In Solentia and in every other democratic country the worker is intitled to strike if he or she thinks the company that they work on are not being fair to their workers by not giving them a fair salary, or good working conditions, etc. However, in Solentia, the current law concerning the firing of strikers does not permit the CEO to fire strikers, so that means that, if workers decide to strike for a motive that is unfair the CEO can not fire those strikers and sometimes can not give the strikers whatever they want either. In cases like that, companies will stop having productivity and cash flow in the company will reduce, this, as explained before, will bankrupt the company and will affect everyone from the company, from the CEO to the average/low salary worker. For that reason, the Freedom Party is proposing this bill that allows CEOs to fire strikers that are striking for a poor reason or even no reason at all. |

| Message | Giving more power to the top is anything but common sense. But i suppose you can't expect more from a capitalist extremist party. The little power the working man has comes from the unions and their right to strike. |

| Message | If this bill passes workers will still have right to strike, but they'll strike for resonable reasons, which is nothing more and noting less than fair. |

| Message | The rich and powerful doesn't need protection from the poor. But capitalists are allways eager to give them that, at the cost of the democratic workers movement. |
