Bill: Abolition of Minimum Wage
Details
Submitted by[?]: Radical 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: June 2581
Description[?]:
The minimum wage Act is a blight on any employer, and discredits the very free-market. The state is obliged to provide unemployment benefits, but not to tamper with the free-market itself. If too many concessions are made to the workers, it becomes unprofitable for employers and small-businesses to work. Fieren Goldmark Finance Minister Leader of the Radical Party |

Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
