Description[?]:
| Self-explainable, I believe. The current policies involving people going on strike, I feel, are bad for they do not fully put the workers of our nation first. Every worker, regardless if critical to society, should have the right to go on strike for as long as they want to without the fear of being oppressed by their employers. I present the following reform. Please discuss. |

| Message | Article 1: It gives workers far too much power. Say I'm a janitor and I won't go back to work unless I get a payrise to a billion aureus a year. Employer can't fire me so he has to give in. Is it right? No. If everyone started to do that, we'd have massive inflation and the labour market would go out the window. Article 2: So basically you're saying is that people should die because some people don't get paid enough? Isn't that a tad selfish? |
