Bill: Fairness Reform Act III

Details

Submitted by[?]: Fair Capitalism 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 2139

Description[?]:

This means workers can accept a wage that they want - instead of being unable to get a minimum wage job that is free for which they are underqualified, they can choose a job that has a wage that is acceptable for where their income is.

For example, if you are being subsidised by your parents or savings, you may not need a particularly high wage.

And remember, THEY ARE NOT BEING FORCED TO TAKE THE LOWER WAGE.

MessageOf course they don't have to take the lower wage, this also gives them the option of unemployment. This bill is a catalyst for exploitation. Against.

MessageIt's in the interest of the employer to pay them at least subsistence. That way they are happy, are more productive, don't go off sick too much etc.

Also if they don't pay a high enoug wage they will notice the profound absense of workers - it works both ways.

MessageThis is ridiculous, abolishing the minimum wage would merely lead to workers being abused, and as the Fair Capitalism Party stated it is in everybodys best interest that there is a minimum wage.

Which is why there are sweatshops in third world countries, RIGHT?
