Bill: Minimum Wage
Details
Submitted by[?]: Socialanarchist Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 2381
Description[?]:
| If we do not provide any help for those that have no work we force them to accept even wages no one can reasonably life off. Since we took their option to refuse a job with insufficient pay we have to ensure no job is tremendously underpaid. |
