The Bonus for each position is set at the beginning of each week as +6 for top brass, +3 for middle management, -1 for the owner's nephew, and 0 for all other staff and the unemployed. On an ordinary referendum, the voting strength of a board member is adjusted by their bonus at the time the referendum was initiated. Notwithstanding the rest of this paragraph, the bonus for the holder of HR is +2.
Surely being the owner's nephew ought to carry an advantage? Except it doesn't do anything with Bonuses yet (presumably they would be tied into voting strength somehow).
If the strike fails, all strikers are demoted, in reverse order to the order they went on strike.
No risk for the bottom-most employee, then, though e may still sit out a strike if e prefers the post-failure Org Chart to the post-success one.
