    I agree here. If funds are to be diverted to defense, I propose an amendment that all funds needed for this bill come from defense. We don't need funds taken, say, from education being funneled via this act just to pad defense's coffers.

    Also, I propose an amendment to section 6: their sentence should be reduced by one-and-a-half. This would liken it to the pay in section 1 to encourage participation by said prisoners.

    How much more time should we give to check in Chancellor Bardan_Jusik? I was thinking twenty four hours.

    OK, I know it hasn't quite been 24 hours but as i have a rather busy schedule today, let's end the roll call a bit early (it's gone on long enough anyway) and get to the vote. If Senator Sinrebirth could please post the amended bill for the record we can begin voting on it immediately, voting to last 24 hours from the time of it's posting.

    Strike Bill

    Firsted by Sinrebirth

    Seconded by Darth_Furio

    Amended by DarthIshyZ, accepted by Sinrebirth

    Whereas the strike is in action, whereas no compromise has been given, and as necessary to resume critical services as it is, it is hereby stated that:

    1. Workers can be drafted from other state owned industries at pay and a half for the job at hand.

    2. Volunteers from private industries can be accepted in similar terms, on the basis that it is for no more than one year and the employees have their prior job guaranteed by the government.

    3. Private businesses which allow their workers to fill in will receive a tax rebate equivalent to their net loss at year end. Responsible businessmanship is expected and a company which goes into liquidation due to releasing workers will not be compensated.

    5. Any company which refuses to allow their employees back after the end of the crisis or their year contract - whichever is sooner - will be subject to sanctions by the government, and their tax rebate cancelled.

    6. Any prisoner serving a sentence which is a strict liability offence (e.g. Parking fines), not life sentences or violent crime offences, may apply to reduce their sentence and act as workers in said strike locations. Such sentence will be reduced by the equivalent and a half of the period of their assistance, subject to good behaviour. Similarly their wardens will determine if they may be allowed to be released.

    7. The factories and mines that are subject to the strike are to be seized by government forces, with actions paid for by the profits of the factories and mines, for the duration of the strikes. If negotiations are not resolved within one year of this act, the mines and factories and so forth and miscellaneous material will be seized by the government with no compensation offered. This includes the fact that the start up costs will originate from the armed forces.

    8. Any effort to sabotage or resist temporary or, in the case of a failure as per 7 above, nationalisation will result in the levying of treason charges against said individuals and the death penalty the maximum sentence. Financial sanctions will be the preferred avenue.

    9. Any community service may be spent at said facilities affected by the strike.

    10. This legislation can be rolled over by the Chancellors office without reference to the Senate. It can also be applied to other strike actions as they arise, without reference to the Senate.

    11. This act can last no longer than 5 years, and all profits from said act are to be reserved solely for the budget of maintaining this act. Any surplus at the end of the accounting period (of no less than twice per financial year) is to be diverted to the armed forces.

    12. Any individual member of the strike membership that wishes to return to work can not avail themselves of any of the benefits of the above workers. They will benefit from whatever compromise is given to enable the workforce to return to work at the end of the strike. If they return immediately (and by immediately, the law means within one month of this act being entered into law), then all criminal charges relating to damage or obstruction will be waived, should any have arisen. Any violent offences will not, under any circumstances, be waived unless by specific pardon by the Chancellor.

    13. The definition of the Chancellor also includes any nominated party of the Office, as long as they hold an elected office, and have no conflict of interest in the companies or resources at stake.

    I don't see my second amendment: funding for this act will come from the armed forces.
