Here is my amendment,
1d is too vague to be enforceable, that's the reason. And I quite agree with TNF as well.

[TNF]

The Amendment is friendly.

Senators have 36 hours to object

[Cranberry]

Well this has been here a while with virtually no debate.
Senator Windjammer's amendment is referring to a point most Senators and most of the public frankly don't care, the "big" question, in my eyes, whether or not unions exceeding membership of a certain part of employees should be allowed to bargain for their whole sector, remains untouched. The debate here seems to have slept in, so I wonder if it wouldn't be time to proceed to a final vote?

[TNF]

I am preparing an amendment.

Well this is our duty to try to write the Best possible laws

But this is on weeks now, and the last real debate has happened I guess two days after this being brought to the floor. One could argue its also our duty to this a bit more efficiently
But as TNF said he would offer an amendment, forget everything I have said.

Yeah, I'm also not inclined to rush TNF because due to the rules he's only blocking his own bills from reaching the floor.

[bore]

TNF?

If no amendment is forthcoming I'll have to open a final vote.

[TNF]

I need just a little bit longer. Sorry, work has been killer the past two days.

[Lumine]

While I am interested in seeing TNF's amendment I would like to point out that I don't see myself signing the current version of the bill, and I would indeed consider a veto, mostly for the reasons I explained before in this thread and some of the arguments given by other Senators. I don't feel it's representative to award representation of such wide sectors to a single union.

First in a series of amendments here.

[Cranberry]

Well, I guess we shall wait for the other amendments too...

[windjammer]

Am I dreaming TNF, or you seem to have even more moved to the left since the result of the last election?

This amendment has passed

[TNF]

On second thought, I think that this is good as is. It probably won't pass, but I can't change anymore of it without seriously compromising the integrity and intent of the legislation.

[windjammer]

I motion for a final vote.

[TNF]

I second the motion.

[bore]

Senators a final vote is now open on this bill, please vote aye nay or abstain

AYE

Aye

This closes in about 30 hours

[Cranberry]

Woops, I didn't see this before.

Well, I guess this bill won't pass anyway, but I do like the spirit of this bill. The process of the union having to be approved to conduct bargaining is sensible, just I don't understand how that thing in 1a wouldn't work; though I doubt any union has such a high number of members at the moment. Anyway, it is I guess a bit too late now to start nitpicking, so I'll just cast my vote now.

I guess, AYE (?)

[bore]

Aye
