Bill: Strikes
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Soviet 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: August 2273
Description[?]:
| We cannot have our critical workers such as police and health workers on strike. Even a little amount of work is not enough as this severly takes away from our nation. Secondary strikes should also be limited so if one strike accures we are sure the whole nation wont shut down through sympathy strikes |

Proposed: All workers, except certain categories of workers regarded as critical to society, have the right to strike.

| Message | Absolutely opposed. This is extreme authoritarianism, and no respectable left-wing party would attempt this, especially when industry is not yet controlled by the government. |

| Message | Striking is something homosexual unionists support when they run out of vacation time and want to be pissy. We gladly vote no. |
