Anti-Union Busting Proposition

-Union busting will be legally defined as a practice that is undertaken by an employer or their agents to prevent employees from joining a labor union, or to disempower, subvert, or destroy unions that already exist.
-The above practice will be made illegal in the Mideast Region in order to protect the rights of citizen workers in the region.
-Punishments for companies may include large fines totalling no more than twenty five percent of their annual income for that year that the union was affected by the afformentioned practice.
-Any groups made exclusivly to disband or damage unions will be broken up, with their individual members receive jail time of no more than six months or fines of no more than $1,000.  Those who work for the company who are outside the union are not included

Any alterations that would make this proposition more acceptable to the voting members of the region will be much appreciated.

-This sort of The above practice will be made illegal in the Mideast Region in order to protect the right of citizen workers in the region.
-Punishments for companies may include large fines totalling no more than twenty five percent of their annual income for that year and ten percent of their total company monetary availability.  Are these added together, or is it whichever is smaller - if so, I'd say or, instead of "and" and add a clause indicating that the punishment would cap at the smaller amount.
-Any groups made exclusivly to disband or damage unions will be broken up, with their individual members receive receiving jail time of no more than one year.  This clause scares me, because then anybody who challenges unions, even outside of the company could be punished.  Even workers who refused to strike and go to work could be punished for "damaging the union" - I'd remove this or greatly reword it.

The last clause is made for groups that are exclusivly founded as they say to disband unions, and nothing more will be punished, if the workers who are'nt working with the union go, they  will not fall under this clause.

How could that be interepreted differently than intended, the fact that it says exclusivly should make it so that nobody but the targets are affected.

But a group of scabs could be considered a group made to damage unions.

If that is their sole purpose then yes.  If they just want work they are'nt.

[HappyWarrior]

Friday at noon most likely.

That's not legal.  It has to be opened by Friday at 12:01 A.M. EST.  If you can't, Frodo has resigned, so MasterJedi will have to open the booth.

Yeah, I don't care - it's up to MJ whether or not he'll open it - I could care less when the booth opens, I was just letting the Governor know that it may already be done by noon tomorrow.
