2. Any business engaging in the subversion of the workers' right to unionize shall lose all funding from the Northeast government.

The provisions of my amendment are drawn directly from the Constitution of South Africa, one of the most progressive national documents in the world.  It strongly enshrines the right of the worker while allowing for the internal process of negotiation between workers and employers.  The Assembly shall be empowered to regulate collective bargaining and to ensure equal, fair, and transparent negotiations.  

I believe my amendment clarifies the noble intentions of the original legislation and removes any possibility of confusion over interpretation - a problem that beguiles much of our current constitution.
