Bill: Exterminate the Unions and Increase Labour Market Flexibility
Details
Submitted by[?]: Die Alternative
Status[?]: passed
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 3836
Description[?]:
Unions are a cancer on our society and economy. Unbridled union power is a recipe for inefficiency, nepotism and corruption. It's time to institute common sense labour policies that disempower the cranks and fat-cats in these fraudulent rackets. This package of policies will, more broadly, enable businesses to prosper and generate the wealth that will make Dundorf's economy more powerful. - Elena Lemcke (industrial relations minister) |
