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?
She’s taking a page out of Trudeau’s climate plan
Can she unilaterally pass a law like that? Serious question, I’m not at all familiar with the governmental and legislative process in Iceland.
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 using her power that has been vested in her by the people to exercise on their behalf. She’s on a strike instead, a strike against herself essentially since she’s the only one who can do anything about it.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.
Yes. See when governments legalized the right to strike and unionize.
Can 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.
No no comrade, don’t you see? It’s not about actually working to make a change, but looking like you’re working to make a change, you see?
