Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
Whilst we support totally state assistance for a minimum wage. We believe the current law is open for interpretation and abuse. We propose the wording of the current law to be tightened so that it gives an adequate description of the law, as opposed to the ambiguous wording of the current law. |

Message | We don't think that raising the minimum wage that much will be useful: too high a minimum wage impedes productivity because workers get quite happy flipping hamburguers and do not feel the need to improve their knowledges and jobs. Welfare is good, but wrapping people in cotton is only guaranteed to make them weak and dependent on Father State. |
