You just had to try to empty the whole payazzo on one go. The idiotic additions about changing the workplaces for example drove me away. Without it, I would have supported WEA. Now I vehemently oppose it.

Need I remind everyone that the right to unionize is something that should never be infringed upon, and that the libertarians should keep in mind that if they beleive only in voluntary human association, they should respect the right of workers to organize for their won interests.

It's not voluntary association when the workers are able to overthrow the management without the consent of the management.

Indeed. If WEA truly was about unions it would be a different case. As it stands though, it only furthers the communist agenda on the pretense of being about unions.

So if Regnum Dominae and I together vote we should get your car that's okay? Because that's what this bill is about, just in larger scale.

More like tyranny by majority.

And democracy doesn't and shouldn't apply to all associations of people.

Additionally, there is no cause that states that workers can simply take over a business. Its highly unlikely unions would elect to take over a workplace as that would mean more work. An owner would have to be a truly awful boss to necessitate.

In addition to this, the state will recognize the right of workers to choose to change the nature of their workplace to more democratic forms via fair and democratic elections. In such cases that workers decide to change the nature of their workplace, the state will be obliged to compensate the present owners in accordance with the nature and extent of compensation (as determined by a court of law).


Id say thats pretty dam unfair when the workers you're as the boss, paying are legally protected when they say, "I dont really feel like it". In addition, unpopular bosses can often be more efficient then bosses who coddle the workers. Not always, but sometimes.

Most workers are capable of understanding the difference between fair managerial policy and "mollycoddling" and most the only case in which I can see workers voting out a boss is in situations where A) The boss is being incredibly unfair or B) incompetent

The boss owns the factory. You shouldnt be able to vote the owner out (in the case of a larger parent corporation, complain to the corporation. After all their factory is going to be less productive as a result now. If its inefficiency, im sure the corporation will remove he manegar happily)
