Description[?]:
| Guest Worker Program: Proposed By: Liberal Democratic Party Introduction Explanation: This Resolution would set up a program in which foreigners may work in the country under moderation and limitation laws. Section I: Guest Worker Administrating Article 1) At most, a sectional quantity of 5% of the workforce may be compiled and built in context of foreign workers involved in the Guest Worker Program. In the Provinces of Borenu, Nilaka, Hufata, Bogendo, and Sonhata this quantity may only reach 5% employment rate for each divisional legislative entity. If any higher than the limitation set is breached the workers included within the plan newest to incorporation will be laid off and returned to and within the Guest Worker's country of current residence and citizenship. Article 2) All Guest Workers must apply and receive a cursory check from the respective province they intend to work within. If the limitations (as set and decided by the local governments) do not match and meet the required levels, the Guest Worker will be denied a profession in the work field. Article 3) The Guest Worker will apply for the field of work they wish to provide service for. If no field of work is provided, the application will be denied. If there is no demand for the work requested in the application, it will be denied. If the economy is in decline or a financial situation that cannot be worked with progression occurs, the applicant may be denied. Section II: Executive Board Article 1) An Executive Board will be set up of appointed officials by the local government in power. By means of which entity will appoint the Executive Board is in total relevance to the local government. Any Executive Board member may be recalled from service if there is evidence of bias, abuse of international worker programs, and or breach of law. Decisions by the Executive Board may not be overturned unless a breach of conduct stated above is proven to have been in occurence. If so, the dealings will be turned to the Judicial Ministry for further determination and settling. Article 2) The Executive Board will be comprised of a set amount by the local government. The faculty count will be based upon the number required to handle the amount of application and applicants for the region. Section III: Wage and Earnings Article 1) All Guest Workers must receive at lowest the current and established level of minimum wage. Earnings made by the Guest Worker may be increased, but never decreased unless law allows so. Article 2) All Guest Workers receive standard benefits in the position they take part and work in. A Guest Worker may not be denied lower than standard benefits unless law allows so. Section IV: Legal Status Article 1) All Guest Workers may appeal to the Judicial Branch in their local government if their rights have been violated. Article 2) All Guest Workers have the right to equal legal representation. Section V: Legality Article 1) This Resolution requires a majority of the Supreme Council's vote. Article 2) Every 15 years this Resolution must be sent for a revote to remain binding law. Article 3) This Resolution will take effect when passed and will remain as binding law until the Resolution dies and expires and requires reintroduction into the Supreme Council. |

| Message | We would oppose this resolution; we do not believe foreign citizens should be subject to any extra or seperate rules than domestic citizens. Ultimately, they should not be treated as second-class persons. If anyone wants to work in our country and contribute to our economy, we should treat them fairly and on a level playing field. |

| Message | This bill allows foreigners to enter Jakania and work. This gives them working rights. Natural citizens of Jakania should have the first chance in a profession and in the working field. It only makes sense to give our natural citizens the upperhand. Foreigners aren't citizens meaning they shouldn't have the upperhand. Citizens are people who live in the country. People who live in the country pay taxes, work to build society, and run the country. It only makes sense to allow the people who actually live and run their whole lives in the nation the chance to work in it. If you read Sections III and IV, it clearly states they have the same unprecedented rights as domestic citizens. We aren't sure if you skipped that part or what, but you obviously didn't read it correctly. This bill promotes fairness and justice while protecting our nation's domestic workers. What do you think the Executive Board is for? What do you think equal representation in the eyes of the law is for? What do you think a minimum wage is for? These are all things that protect their rights and make them equal. This legislation makes it so there isn't an overpour of illegal immigrants working in the nation. Our natural citizens should have the first chance because they are Natural Citizens! That's what makes citizens what and who they are. If we let everyone work in our nation there would be no real need to have border limitations. This allows foreign workers to take part in our nation's economy with regulation so we can protect our own nation's workers and still allow foreigners to enjoy what we have to offer. |

| Message | If there are specific sects of this Resolution that you disapprove of and will support if changed, please say so. We will change if a compromise is settled. |

| Message | I support 100%. Now, this bill is actually helping foregin workers. It says that they must recieve at least minimum wage, so for all we know now foregin workers can be working for barely anything. Also, as the LDP said, our natural citizens should be able to get the jobs first. |
