Bill: Trade Union Freedom Act of 2289
Details
Submitted by[?]: Telamon Royalist Party
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: February 2291
Description[?]:
| The value that trade unions provide cannot be ignored. But neither can the rights of workers to unionize or not at their will. Forcing employees to join a union is just as wrong as banning the union. It should be the right of the workers to collectively bargain and act, just as it should be their option not to. Of course, if a worker chooses to leave a union, then they will find themselves dealing with their employer or employers on their own, but that option has to be available in a free society. |

| Random quote: "The great economic, social and political scientist, Karlstein Metz, accurately predicted over 2,500 years ago that capitalism is doomed to destruction by its inherent weaknesses and contradictions, and must inevitably be replaced by a communist form of social, political and economic organisation." - Friedrich Pfeiffer, former Dorvish politician |
