About time we see common sense legislation, and I praise PiT for it. I had no doubts in issuing a veto on this bill when originally passed due to its content and the fact that only four Senators voted for it (just five on the total vote), and I think now is the chance to correct this mistake and scrap it.
The high abstention rate was what struck me in the original bill, though the law itself really was cringeworthy.
The original bill takes determination out of the hands of the workplace by creating a central vote in an industry, so people can end up union even if nobody in a given company wants it. It's the sort of paternalism that we don't need.
It requires negotiation with a central employers' association, which simply doesn't exist in many industries. The result could be that both union and non-union workers could go months or even years without being able to negotiate for a raise or benefits, because the necessary infrastructure has not been set up yet.
It's really centralization for the sake of centralization, who cares how many people get hurt.
