Bill: Workers Rights
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: December 2168
Description[?]:
| As Trade Union membership is voluntary it is hardly appropriate to define by law what kind of rules a union should have while making its decisions. We do not pose any such limitations to the functions of any other citizens' free associations. To do so to unions can only be seen as inappropriate attempt to limit Trade Union activities and citizens' rights to free association. Desicion about going on strike is one that should be made by members of a union in any means they see fit. As holding a ballot severely limits the efficacity with which strike action can be taken, many unions and their members often see ballots as too cumbersome. They have every right to consider so and act accordingly. It is a matter of a unions internal decision making and the rules governing it. It is hardly a place for the government to meddle. |
