Message | Support. Though we would prefer if article 1 the prices were not regulated, but we still will support. |
Date | 01:23:53, July 11, 2007 CET | From | Lutte Féministe de Libération | To | Debating the Libéral marché libre acte |
Message | AHH! You realize Article 4 actually DECREASES the minimum wage? Yikes, this is bad. A wage "above-the-poverty-level" is less than a "living-wage", which is "well above the poverty line for a full time worker". |
Date | 08:29:09, July 11, 2007 CET | From | Front Nationaliste Royaliste | To | Debating the Libéral marché libre acte |
Message | We would support Article 3 in a separate bill, but this mess is not worth it's salt. |
Date | 16:24:18, July 11, 2007 CET | From | Partie Démocratique Libéral | To | Debating the Libéral marché libre acte |
Message | That makes no sense, EASL. This makes it so the minimum wage is enough to theoretically support four people, not just one. A lone individual would actually receive a substantial boost under this. |
Date | 23:36:02, July 11, 2007 CET | From | Lutte Féministe de Libération | To | Debating the Libéral marché libre acte |
Message | No you don't understand. A living wage takes the average family size into account. It's worded poorly here I know, but that's what a living wage is. |
