Bill: Worker's Democracy Law
Details
Submitted by[?]: Beluzian Traditional 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: July 4139
Description[?]:
| Too much power lies in the hands of the class of professional union beauraucrats. The Traditional Party respects the rights of workers, and the right to strike is essential in a democracy. However, these important decisions shouldn't rest in the hands of union bosses. It's time to let workers have a say directly. |

| Message | Honourable Traditional Party, Even though we agree with the general feeling of the proposal and the idea behind it, the changing your party is suggesting is not an good one, and should have been pointed out to every party. The current law is bad? Our party agrees it is. Should we support democracy inside every institution, including unions? Of course we should. But there's an not to small detail in this proposal that is bothering us: it says "majority of all members, regardless of if they vote or not must approve the strike action". Regardless if they vote? Why don't we propose "majority approval of those that vote"? Us of the FSP feel this is would be an improvement over the changing BTP is suggesting to this House, preventing the use of "phantom members" by certain groups or even the use of threats to some workers' families, like it has happen in other countries, to stop them from voting in important matters like industrial actions.
