Bill: Fair Unemployment Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Independent Capitalist Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 2143
Description[?]:
| If unemployed, people should not lose their unemployment benefits if they turn down job offers they are morally opposed to. For instance, people could turn down job offers by the military or for prostitution if they are personally against either of those professions, but they would still keep unemployment benefits. Otherwise the unemployment system would be unfair, forcing people into jobs they are morally against. |

| Message | Big surprise how CNP voted no on this. One could make a backdoor draft by revoking the unemployment benefits of unemployed people if they turn down military job offers. |
