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.

Description[?]:
| Today the unions have proved who they are. They are undemocratic and hateful. They don't respect our democracy and neither does the party's who are in their pocket. So to end this meaningless strike we make the following temporary proposals |
Proposals

Proposed: Employers are free to fire workers who go on strike.
Article 2
Proposal[?] to change Government policy towards labor unions.
Old value:: Trade unions may exist and worker membership is voluntary.
Current: Trade unions may exist and worker membership is voluntary.
Proposed: Trade unions are illegal.
Article 3
Proposal[?] to change Secondary strike action.
Old value:: Only closely related trade unions can walk out on a sympathy strike in support of other striking workers.
Current: Any trade union can go on a sympathy strike in support of other striking workers.
Proposed: Secondary strike action is illegal. Workers and unions can only go on strike for their own pay and conditions.

| Message | Mr Speaker, The Moderate Party clearly mustn't understand why these stikes are happening. It's because of the hateful things your party says. How is striking for a party to be more respectful undemocratic and hateful? It is you who are hateful. We have urged our unions not to stike but after this has been proposed this might be changed. The unions only dislike your party because of the hateful speach your party produce. David Smith CUP Leader |

| Message | The LPU MPs where silent until a young man stood up "You talk about a lack of democracy? You talk about us, unionists, like animals I pledge to you that the communist unions will join as one against these 'reforms' in the diet. This government had the idea of parliament made in law, we reject you as what we are, the people's righteous vanguard!" The MP was rewarded with clapping from his fellow MPs as well as the faction leaders. As a MP sang out "Let none build walls to devide us, walls of stone or hate!" Finally the communists settled down with a new feeling of power over came the LPU |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Could the LUP grow up and say 'Mr Speaker'? Also, don't be so bloody narcissistic! Cassandra Stevenson |

| Message | Mr Speaker All that you unions have done is harm the country! You do not respect our opinion or our democracy. Communism is oppressive and takes power away from the people! You are not for the people. You are for the unions! We stand with the people. The common man. And as 3right said I would like to ask LUP to grown up and show some bloody respect! Francis Urquhart leader of the moderate party |
| Date | 17:29:11, February 26, 2016 CET | From | Centrist Alliance | To | Debating the Unions reform |
| Message | Mr Speaker, As we have told the Moderates before the common man likes unions. I don't know what kind of trippy fantasy you all live in but it's not the one the rest of the country is living in. If the CUP and the LPU are in the pockets of the unions then the Moderates are in the pockets of tax avoiding big corporations! I think I'd rather be in the pocket of the unions sticking up for worker's rights (and if the Moderates forgot - the common men are workers) than corporations at the root of corruption. The Moderates want to see the common man working until they die of terrible working conditions! David Smith CUP Leader |

| Date | 17:57:51, February 26, 2016 CET | From | Conservative Right | To | Debating the Unions reform |
| Message | Mr Speaker We have no desire to see workers do that. We want to see that the common man actually has a work to go to. Without the unions standing in his way! The unions are the rot in our country and we need to get rid of it! Francis Urquhart leader of the moderate party |
