Worker And Citizen Rights Act of 2024

“I am voting NO because, although I support the protection of workers and their right to unionise, I believe that several of the measures proposed go too far. In particular, I am opposed to the idea of making trade union membership compulsory and I prefer that every worker should remain free to join a trade union or not. I am also cautious about setting wages that is too rigid and about certain important state interventions in employment and housing. I prefer to defend rights”

“The Reformist Party stands today to cast an unequivocal NO on the Worker and Citizen Rights Act. Wëlstere’s prosperity relies on economic freedom, personal independence, and strong institutions—principles this bill actively dismantles. By forcing every worker into mandatory union membership, we strip away individual liberty; by replacing merit-driven compensation with rigid state-mandated salary bands, we paralyze our competitive edge in technology and finance; and by abolishing the Right-to-Buy, we deny working families the fundamental opportunity to build real homeownership and generational wealth. We do not empower our citizens by expanding government control, but by expanding opportunity, defending private property, and rewarding hard work. Wëlstere needs pragmatic reform, not ideological regression, and for these reasons, we proudly vote NO.”

“The Liberal Platform votes no. Mandatory union membership forces association on every worker regardless of choice. Criminal liability for any preventable workplace injury, however minor, makes running a business an unacceptable legal gamble rather than a safety standard. Free university for all reverses the funding model we just put in place, and state-set pay bands for every job abolish wage negotiation entirely — that is not equal pay, it is central planning of every paycheck in Wëlstere. The social housing article is the same one we rejected last month, for the same reason. We want workers paid fairly, educated well, and housed securely — but through a growing economy and real opportunity, not through the state fixing every price and owning every home.”
