Bill: Union Freedom Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Republican Party - Populists
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: October 4516
Description[?]:
| We need to stop unions from forcing people to join if they do not agree that the union represents their interests and do not want to join. Also it is crazy that essential services such as the police, fire department, and event he military can strike and collapse our country. Also many unions are corrupt and have ties to organized crime and we cannot allow these organizations to hold our country hostage! |
