In private employment, when an employee "just can't take no for an answer", this can eventually lead to dismissal. The voting public needs to make such part of public employment, including particularly the election of politicians. It's the only mechanism I see within our current governance structures for putting curbs on "undead initiatives". In the larger ecosphere, this would apply to, for example, these endless rounds of international "trade agreements" that seek to legislate, via this back door, ever more draconian IP rights to private parties. (ACTA, SOPA, PIPA, TPP, the North American European one...) So... inefficient and ineffective as this may be, note who's pushing this policy, and who supports them, politically. Tell them it will influence your vote. Let the relevant union, if any, know that defending such proponents is or would tarnish their reputation. And support your local news... Local, where your influence is relatively large and immediate.
