Non-profit organisations must register with the state, disclose their sources of donations to state. They can be shut down by the government and registration is usually slow and difficult. Applications to form organisations centered around banned topics such sapient rights or democracy are explicitly banned. There are no trade unions orand professional associations. Professional registration bodies can refuse to grant their members licenses to operate at the request of the government for political reasons. Strikes are permissible but picketing associated with a strike is not. Nevertheless worker organisation especially in low-income work is basically impossible and employers have wide discretion to dismiss workers. Skilled workers benefit form the high demand and rarity of their skills and have superior bargaining power. The government has started to introduce labour protections but enforcement is poor and is based on government intervention following a formal complaint which is typically slow and ineffective. Worker intimidation is nominally illegal but practically difficult to enforce. However, business associations exists and operate fairly freely and tend to be significant media for the lobbying of the government. Paxist associations tend to operate much more freely than other civic society bodies and religious officials are well protected.
