[TNF]

Motion for a veto override.

[windjammer]

4 senators who failed to vote (well, except BK who is on leave of absence), this is unacceptable.

[Cranberry]

Motion for a veto override.

I second the motion, mainly because I don't like Presidential vetoes, same as Presidential pardons and most executive orders (but nominations, and in times like the Civil War)

This is excellent news. The working people of this country march forward to higher wages, better working conditions, and shorter hours. All power to the unions!

When I return I will fight to repeal this monstrosity. Both sides must compromise For the good of our nationTNF. This is an anti-growth bill. We can have reasonable and sustained growth and prosperity while giving good conditions for the workforce. The unions must accept limits like management is demanded to. You and the radicals in labor have dragged that balance too far in your favor. Expect your rubber band to strike back at you unless you give your ear to the busisness leaders.

[Lumine]

Oh, well, I tried. The next time I'll probably try to redraft instead of an outright veto...

Again, show me some evidence, outside of hackneyed and baseless strawmen for your position on this.

Does the term "Union Monopolizing" mean anything? That is what this bill allows labor unions to do. Yet management can't do that.... Sounds like a double standard to me.
