In August 2021, a general strike was organised by the [[Union of Commerce]] following the [[Department of Education and Commerce]]'s controversial decision requiring [[businesses]] to self-report their prices in order to compile the [[Consumer Price Index]] (CPI) — labour previously done by [[economists]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://discord.com/channels/673612908868927498/754622580777812130/876461107672399933|newspaper=Disney News|publication_date=15 August 2021|title=Untitled}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://discord.com/channels/673612908868927498/754622580777812130/876512161508249690|title=Untitled|newspaper=Disney News|publication_date=15 August 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite press release|url=https://discord.com/channels/673612908868927498/754622580777812130/877333909589856276|office=Representative|official=[[1950minecrafter]]|publication_date=17 August 2021|access_date=27 September 2026}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://discord.com/channels/673612908868927498/754622580777812130/877288019621711972|title=Business Crisis|newspaper=[[The Redmont Times]]|publication_date=17 August 2021}}</ref>

The decision had other economic effects: [[accountants]], numbering circa 73 at the time, had trouble in finding work. With the need to keep track their own prices came the creation of independent accounting firms.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://discord.com/channels/673612908868927498/754622580777812130/877706816996397106|title=Policy Impacts on Accounting|newspaper=[[Democracy Daily]]|publication_date=19 August 2021}}</ref>

The DEC Investigation Committee, chaired by [[1950minecrafter]], investigated "the firing[s and resignations] of several department employees". Secretary of Education and Commerce [[hugebob23456]] was found to have leaked confidential communications between department employees and President [[_Austin27_]] in which employees had reported concerns regarding the secretary's perceived inactivity and demeanor.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gM22jzl9C2GXliQoA6EjBf1Av-0FTXWCXge6FI2_XNk/edit?tab=t.0|title=DEC INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE DOCUMENT|publisher=[[Department of Education and Commerce]] Investigation Committee|publication_date=August 2021|access_date=27 September 2026}}</ref>

[[hugebob23456]] began negotiations with the Union of Commerce on or around 19 August.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://discord.com/channels/673612908868927498/754622580777812130/877964503692759100|title=Untitled|newspaper=Disney News|publication_date=19 August 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://discord.com/channels/673612908868927498/754622580777812130/878110877407117342|title=DEC Negotiations|newspaper=[[Democracy Daily]]|publication_date=20 August 2021}}</ref>
