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.

| Message | "This bill is an important step in Jakania. We support keeping this as law for the reasons of protecting our nation and keeping an established plan friendly to non-citizens of Jakania. This bill has our entire cooperation and backing. We must compliment the Liberal Democratic Party for their movements on this issue. They have done a job well done." Republican Party Minority Leader Bill Frist |
| Date | 02:41:28, April 05, 2007 CET | From | Jakanian Liberal Socialists | To | Debating the Guest Worker Program: Reintroduction |
| Message | Certain articles of this are too strict, mainly the provision in article 1 that allows workers to be suddenly laid off under certain conditions. We can't ask people to come from other countries, perhaps bringing their families, leaving their old lives behind, ask them to contribute wholly to our economy, and then offer them little or no job security. This bill goes some ways in affording these people rights, but not far enough. We can't take from these people as they graciously give to our economy, then regard them as something we can throw away when it suits us. That is a gross disrespect of human dignity |

| Message | "The Jakanian Liberal Socialists disappoint us. This bill is based upon giving rights and freedoms to Guest Workers, not treating them like illegal aliens. You most certainly do not understand what the bill does." - Jim Webb, JPJ |
| Date | 19:50:15, April 05, 2007 CET | From | Jakanian Liberal Socialists | To | Debating the Guest Worker Program: Reintroduction |
| Message | "If you want a much simpler replacement bill, just allow foreign workers to work in Jakania, but legally entitle them to the minimum wage. Then they get all legal protections, there's no incentive for companies to hire foreigners in place of domestic workers, and none of the red tape, bureaucracy and new government agencies in this bill become neccesary" |
