Bill: Open/Clossed Shop Reform Act 3981
Details
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: January 3982
Description[?]:
| Currently closed and union only shops are legal. However we believe this is utterly wrong and a form of discrimination. We believe that open shops should be the only allowed shops. |
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)
Old value:: Closed shops, union shops and agency shops are legal.
Current: Only open shops are legal.
Proposed: Only open shops are legal.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, How can any socialist party vote to take away these powers? The HSP has worked hard for unions to achieve these rights, we will not let them go without a fight to the bitter end! I yield Adolph Reeder HSP MP Labor Faction Leader |
| Date | 16:50:17, February 10, 2016 CET | From | Choice | To | Debating the Open/Clossed Shop Reform Act 3981 |
| Message | Mr Speaker We are a social-democratic party yes, but we use common sense and fairness as our main driver of policy; we don't simply agree to something merely because an ideology commands we do, we don't pander to extremes like your party. By your logic, what kind of socialist party has far-right social policies? Joshua Maisey Leader of Choice |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Need I remind the Choice leader that Socialism is an economic policy. Our party is only conservative on social and moral issues. Perhaps the Mr. Maisey could learn a thing or two by brushing up on his economic and political theory.

| Message | Mr Speaker We are aware of the existence of right-wing socialism, however we were using your logic of "all socialist parties must be in favour of this". Perhaps Mr Reeder had better improve his communication skills a little. Joshua Maisey Leader of Choice |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We respect Choice's difference of opinion on this matter for they have been consistent in their opposition to anything but open shops. We are, however, most disappointed with the changes of opinion with the SDL and LPP, they were instrumental in allowing closed shops and agency shops in the first place! http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=460628 I yield Adolph Reeder HSP MP Labor Faction Leader |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
