Bill: Economic Vitality Act (Employment) (IUC)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Imperial Democratic Coalition
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: April 2701
Description[?]:
| 1. To better allow the open market to define wages in accordance with demand, we would propose to lower the minimum wage to a more reasonable level. The current system only increases unemployment by removing low-skilled workers from the labour field due to artificially-high wages. Further, it is the state's role only to ensure all workers are able to adequately provide for themselves; it is not to allow them to spend copiously - a waste of national funds. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The nation's policy on minimum wage regulation.
Old value:: There shall be a minimum wage at a level considered a "living wage," well above the poverty line for a full time worker.
Current: There is no provision for a minimum wage.
Proposed: There shall be a minimum wage at a level that a single full time worker on it can adequately subsist.
