I think it was a grave mistake for the 16th session to pass this legislation. Right to work laws should be left to sub-regional governments, rather than applied one-size-fits-all to the whole Southern Region to account for differences in labor markets across the Southern Region.

Minimum 48 hours debate

I gotta say though devolution does look somewhat tempting (assuming the LABORER Act is in effect by default and each state or county government would have to remove those laws consciously), but once considering how easy it'll be for lobbyists for large corporations to enact Right to Work laws, I'm not so sure I'd go through with it.

In regards to this point, what if we require local governments to conduct a referendum to exempt themselves from the LABORER Act?
