Bill: Union Workplace Act of October 4332
Details
Submitted by[?]: Social Union
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: December 4333
Description[?]:
| In order to further the rights of unions and allow them to seek better conditions for labour, the Social Union proposes removing restrictions on union shops and agency shops. However, closed shops, in our opinion, are discriminatory against ununionized workers and should not be allowed. |
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:: Only open shops are legal.
Current: Only open shops are legal.
Proposed: Union shops and agency shops are legal, but closed shops are not.
