Labor Unions Issue

16-11-2003, 05:04
Sorry to post this here but I need an answer before I fall asleep tonight:

I need help with this issue, since I want to bring up my economy, even at a cost to civil rights. Which option is the best one for the economy? Also, I don't think any of these options affects political freedoms but if anyone thinks otherwise please let me know

The Issue
Thousands of business men and women have taken to the streets in protest of their working conditions and pay. "It's not fair that we can't have a union," says Roger Falopian, VP of Sales at SlothCorp. "Just because we make six figures doesn't mean we don't deserve overtime too! It's high time that the lower classes come to appreciate our hard efforts."

The Debate
Falala Jones, secretary of commerce, recommends you ignore these commies. "Free enterprise means not having to succumb to unions, and the world has enough unions already."
[Accept]


May Christmas, secretary of labor, advises you to adjust laws to allow white-collar unions. "It only makes sense that all of workers in our nation have equal opportunity to benefit from the advantages of collective bargaining."
[Accept]


"Get these people out of the street!" advises Prudence Dodinas, local police chief. "They're blocking traffic, and making it impossible for the common man to drive to the megamall!"
[Accept]


Finally, Right Reverend Prudence Bush proclaims, "The downtrodden are suffering at the hands of the MAN, and these wealthy upper shelf vice presidents are asking to make the rich richer and the poor poorer! The only reason the common worker needs a union is to be able to fight against the oppression of these slave drivers! It's ludicrous that these greedy scrooges are asking for even MORE money! Send them packing and raise taxes on the wealthy to bring more equality to our nation!"
[Accept]

I'm not sure what the answer to your question is, but this topic belongs in on the "Got Issues?" board. Hopefully, someone there will have the answer to your question.

Tactical Grace had this good guide for raising an economy from imploded to Frightening, I'll go look for it. Meanwhile, anyone know the answer to the labor union issue

I would guess option 1, if you want economy only. Options that deny rights to labor unions tend to boost economies the most.

*not La Christiania*

I did option 1, economy jumped from strong to thriving(for some reason my economy always jumps when it goes up a level), and my tax also dropped 4% as well, so go the economy. :)

Convict, he's right, I had the same exact effect for mine (economy jump and tax reduction), except mine jumped from Thriving to Powerhouse :D . Go with option 1
