Bill: Fair Wages Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Global Libertarian Assembly
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: July 2562
Description[?]:
| Make all wages negotiable. Only the individual person knows what is 'livable' and not the goverment. Letting the people negotiate on their individual cases gives greater power and freedom to live and flourish. If you give business' a 'minimum wage' and tell them that thats the wage all people should be on, then thats the wage all business' will see as the bare minimum, livable wage, regardless of personal situations and circumstances. Allow the people greater freedom to negotiate what THEY KNOW is livable! |
