Bill: Minimum Wage Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: 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: January 3068
Description[?]:
The current law reduces the number of jobs available and thus creates unemployment. Though we acknowledge that a basic minimum wage is needed, we do not believe the price for that minimum wage should be millions of unemployed. |
