1NC- NovDec- Right to StrikeTournament: Damus | Round: 2 | Opponent: All | Judge: Any 1NC- Police Unions PIC Counterplan text: -A just government ought to recognize only non-essential private sector citizens’ unconditional right to strike. -The United States federal government ought to recognize the unconditional right of workers to strike except police officers. We solve for the entirety of the affirmative’s case. This is mutually exclusive with the aff’s plan because they grant an unconditional right to strike for all workers. The affirmative allows police strikes, which causes massive unrest, crime, and exacerbates corruption within police unions. AND leave voluntarily, and they tend to go to smaller departments with fewer resources Strengthening police unions leads to decreased police accountability AND . “A lot is in the eye of who’s doing the coding.” Stronger police unions actively prevent meaningful criminal justice reform AND without addressing their power, other reforms may never get off the ground. Criminal justice reform strengthens communities, combats injustice, and bolsters the economy AND incarceration and the substantial social obstacles faced by people with criminal records.13 1NC- Economy Disadvantage Uniqueness: Inflation is bound to decrease in the coming weeks – If it does not, the dollar will decline, and the economy will suffer. AND inflation down through tightening policy significantly, that could generate more significant volatility.” Link: The aff increases wage growth, which is the biggest threat to inflation AND ," Powell told reporters last month. "We don't see that now." Internal link: Wage growth right now is the deciding factor on long-term inflation. AND say the wage growth they’re observing is more a feature than a bug.” Internal link: Collapse of U.S. dollar hegemony causes an economic depression and war with China. AND liquidity might lead to the conflict feared on both sides of the Pacific. Impact: Depression means war – unique pandemic and international circumstances means it is the most likely cause. AND sensible and respectful global dialogue. The alternative may well be global conflagration. 1NC- On Case 1NC- Generic The status quo solves the affirmative’s harms for two reasons:
Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act states in part, “Employees shall have the right. . . to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection.” Strikes are included among the concerted activities protected for employees by this section. Section 13 also concerns the right to strike. It reads as follows: AND example, restrictions on strikes in health care institutions (set forth below). 2. Existing committees represented by workers are already monitoring and combatting inequality Convention 87, addressing freedom of association and protection of the right to organize, 33 was promulgated by the ILO in 1948. Unlike other U.N. specialized agencies, the ILO has a tripartite governing structure. Each of the 187 Member States is represented not only by governments but also by organizations of employers and of workers (referred to as “social partners”). Their right of participation as representatives includes the right to vote; the standard ratio of representation is 2:1:1, or two government, one employer, and one worker. 34 In the absence of an express provision on strikes in Convention 87, two leading ILO supervisory bodies have developed over many decades recognition for the right to strike as an essential component of FOA. The independent CEACR was established in 1926; it is charged with making impartial observations that address questions or concerns regarding a country’s progress toward compliance with ratified conventions in law and practice.35 The tripartite CFA was established in 1951, based on recognition that the principles of FOA and the rights to organize and engage in collective bargaining required a dedicated supervisory procedure to monitor compliance even in countries that had not ratified Conventions 87 and 98.36 Next, the affirmative does not solve:
AND difference. And we will lose sight of what makes a strike effective. 3. AND of neutral enforcement of the law and vindication of the labor law itself. 5. AND explained or rationalized with reference to the employer's need to hire striker replacements. | 11/6/21 |
1NC- SeptOct- ExtraTournament: SeptOct LD | Round: 1 | Opponent: All | Judge: Any AND investments and undertake significant reforms now to ensure that things stay that way. Strong IP protection spurs innovation by encouraging risk-taking and incentivizing knowledge sharing -- prefer statistical analysis of multiple studies AND for foreign direct investment which in turn also leads to economic growth.”56 A vaccine waiver gives China the edge in biotech and decks innovation in every sector AND over international trade to block this danger to domestic high-technology industries. China is a revisionist power and rise triggers war with the U.S. – history, rhetoric, and values AND can set mutually agreeable international rules on traditional security issues including territorial disputes. The WTO is fundamentally coercive and must be abolished. AND market as a mechanism to be controlled and guided to achieve social priorities. The WTO has repeatedly failed developing countries – laundry list. AND when the model of global competitiveness between countries becomes one of genuine cooperation. | 10/21/21 |
1NC- SeptOct- GenericTournament: SeptOct LD | Round: 1 | Opponent: All | Judge: Any Uniqueness: Pharma profits are up from COVID vaccines, but patent waivers threaten this. AND almost $428 million accrued in the first nine months of the year. Link: Strong IP protections spur innovation by encouraging risk-taking and incentivizing knowledge sharing. You should prefer our statistical analysis of multiple studies. AND for foreign direct investment which in turn also leads to economic growth.”56 Internal link: Biopharmaceutical innovation is key to prevent future pandemics and bioterror attacks. AND such public health threats to an even greater extent under improved innovation conditions. Impact: Advanced bioweapons causes extinction, which outweighs the affirmative. AND and Japan using plague to cause an epidemic in China during WWII.27 Now I will move onto the aff’s case. On-case: Inequality Contention
AND action should be no broader than necessary to address the global medical need. 3. IP protections don’t cause disease spread because patent incidence is low and independently increases access- prefer empirics. AND the list were originally discovered and/or developed by private companies.31 5. No US-China war- strong domestic incentives to prioritize stability and growth. AND national security fears aren’t urgent enough to make the public demand a showdown. 2. Reducing IP rights does not solve quickly enough to help the pandemic because legal battles will slow the process – experts agree. AND their arms in the fastest and most efficient way possible," he said. 3. The WTO has already published how to make COVID vaccines, which proves the status quo solves. AND , the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and DHL jointly produced the list. 5. The aff does not solve. Focusing on vaccine equity obscures vaccine “rollout” issues AND South Africa whose industrial policies have long called for limitations on IP rights. | 10/21/21 |
