Bill: Trade Union Reform Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Konservativ Monarkistpartiet
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: July 2190
Description[?]:
The act of striking must be made harder, Trade Unions have far too much power, and thus must be restricted, otherwise they will destroy the Kazulian economy. Article 1 - those critical to society, such as policemen, medical staff, etc, must not be allowed to risk the lives of Kazulians by striking, thus Police and Medical Unions shall not be allowed to strike, but will be given other methods with which to campaign against problems. Article 2 - It is crazy that a few corrupt Union leaders can declare a strike, regardless of whether or not the Union backs it. Therefore we suggest that 50%+1vote of the ENTIRE union must back a strike in order for it to happen. |

Message | The thing is, how would a minimum service work for the police? It simply wouldn't, you couldn't remove most of the police force without very bad side effects. |
