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

[bore]

Honestly I'm more concerned that this bill allows people in any job to strike. Maybe this makes me a capitalist pig, but I don't think paramedics or A and E doctors should be allowed to not go to work. In those cases there are other ways of making grievances known.

This has enough votes to pass, senators have 24 hours to change their votes.


Nay

I would be completely supportive of enshrining collective bargaining in law if this were america, but it's atlasia, and I think we already have, in Article VI of the Constitution:

Besides, I can not read the first section as anything other than allowing all employees to strike, and in sectors like healthcare I can not support that.

By a vote of 5-3 this bill has passed the senate and is sent to the president for executive action

Aye: TNF, SWE, Lief, Windjammer, Cranberry

Nay: Bore, Yankee, Cris

Not Voting: BK, Polnut

[bore]

Senators a vote is now open on overriding Lumine's veto, please vote aye nay or abstain

[bore]

Nay

For the reasons I gave for voting against this originally.

[bore]

By a vote of 4-4 (Cranberries vote was a little too late), the veto override has failed, and, consequently, the bill has failed.

Aye: TNF, Windjammer, Lief, SWE

Nay: Yankee, Cris, Bore, Polnut

Not Voting: BK, Cranberry

[bore]

Well, yeah. SWE voted for the override, though; so it's 4-4 I believe.

Does the 72-hour period apply here as well?

If not, well, AYE

Hate me for it, but I oppose the process of vetoing bills in principle. Probably that's just as I come from a parliamentary democracy, a country where that single figure outside the legislative that we call President has just no power whatsoever (understandable when you know our history), where all legislative decisions are completely left to the Legislative. Well, yeah.

The Pinko European strikes again, I guess.

The Hapsburgs created and preserved Austria (indirectly). Without them Merkel would be your Chancellor.

We all know I meant that

Thanks, that's corrected now
