Bill: Solidarity with the Workers
Details
Submitted by[?]: Quanzari Socialist Party
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.
Voting deadline: November 2718
Description[?]:
| Our workers need this vital protection. It is one of their few ways, beyond elected officials, to influence their economic circumstances. Low paid workers are less productive, less happy, and feelings of powerlessness might lead to the social ills of drunkenness and support of prostitution. With the recent change in legislative standing, we feel this bill deserves a second vote. |
