Trudge [Comrade]She is literally the prime minister, the leader of the ruling party/coalition. Pass a legislation mandating equal pay with strict enforcement mechanisms if she actually cares about it instead of striking.
What’s next, CEOs doing solidarity strikes for worker safety instead of making the workplace safer?
comedyCan she unilaterally pass a law like that? Serious question, I’m not at all familiar with the governmental and legislative process in Iceland.
Kbin_space_programYes. See when governments legalized the right to strike and unionize.
DeceptichumCan you give a link to this event?

In Canada, a constitutional right to strike was provided by legal precedent in 1987, and then confirmed by the Supreme Court in 2015.
Canada is a land of ice, it is not Iceland.
And that’s about a Supreme Court ruling, not an individual decree made by the PM
It's based on the living tree doctrine, which was included in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms by the PM who created that, initially, by declaration.
Yes, if she cares about it strongly enough. Iceland is a parliamentary democracy instead of a presidential democracy - it means that the PM is the head of the government, the head of her party, a legislator, and the head of the coalition at the same time. She can force the issue. The only way to stop her would be for the other coalition parties to go against her, dissolving the government itself.
Of course, there is no need to stop her as she isn’t exercising her power. I heard that she’s on a strike instead, a strike against herself essentially.

Parliamentary systems are the ones where you can’t directly make the shots.
Presidential systems afford the president powers to pass laws.
I think you need to read my comment one more time.
