Proposal: Workers of All Lands, Unite! ... again

Enact a rule "Labour Union" which states:

Civilians may organize. Civilians of Sub-Branch Levels 1-3 may join the Labour Union simply by saying so in a post. The admins will maintain a Labour Union membership sidebar by indicating members with an ! (exclamation point) by their name. Members of the Labour Union may:

1) Elect a Labour Union Leader through nomination and majority vote [position to be added in Rule # 20 under the Civilian branch as Civ:LUL]
2) Overthrow and Reelect a new Labour Union leader through posts that indicate as such and go through the same election procedures as the initial election.
3) Strike
a. The Labour Union Leader may post an announcement to Strike at anytime
b. A Strike only occurs when all the Labour Union Members have voted FOR the Strike and moved into the Factory (picketing) within 24 hours of the initial post, otherwise the Strike fails.
1. If the Strike is successful then each government official will suffer a fine of five (5) credits per Labour Union Member per 12 hour period during which the Strike lasts.
c. The Strike only lasts so long as all Labour Union Members remain in the Factory
1. However, during this time, they may not earn money for working in the Factory.
d. After the first 12 hours of a successful Strike any Government Official may (only from the Imperial Palace) call for an Injunction.
1. The Injunction passes only if a majority of non-civilians vote FOR it within 24 hours of its Proposition.
2. A successful Injunction breaks up a Strike by returning each Labour Union Member to their housing complex and fining them 15 credits (an Injunction may not be grounds for moving citizens into the Hospital).
e. Otherwise the Strike continues until other Rules, such as Rule # 20, take effect.

If the Labour Union Leader’s credits exceed those of all the Government Officials put together, a new dynasty will begin and the Labour Union Leader will become the new Emperor.

Enacted by Anthony as per Rule 7, 9/8. +10 to Aaron, +5 to Anthony.
