Bill: Minimum Wage
Details
Submitted by[?]: Irish 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: October 2480
Description[?]:
| I'm proposing the smallest minimum wage possible to replace the 'no minimum wage' this country has at the moment. This is to help the people who are so desperate to work, that they'll work for anything and the employee takes advantage of this. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The nation's policy on minimum wage regulation.
Old value:: There is no provision for a minimum wage.
Current: There shall be a minimum wage at a level considered a "living wage," well above the poverty line for a full time worker.
