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.

Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Closed shops are places of employment where only members of a specific union are allowed to work; union shops can hire non-members, but these have to become members after a certain time; agency shops can hire non-members, who have to pay a fee to cover the unions costs. All three are erected by union agreements. (Only valid if unions are legal)

Current: Closed shops, union shops and agency shops are legal.

| Message | M. Speaker, The LPA supports the rights of workers. All workers should have the right to strike and fight for their rights if working conditions are poor. Workers are the backbone of our nation and our economy, and this bill does not appreciate that. We will oppose this bill Susan Gibbs LPA Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, It will be very difficult for me to convince the Socialists in my party to support this bill. The party has historically been a pro-workers party, and we do not see anything good coming from this bill. -- Joshua Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Minister of Trade/Industry |
