| Message | Article 3 of this bill is a disgrace! We will never support a reduction in the minimum wage for hard working Coburan's. Why do the 'Left' Party want to withdraw the living wage, and take money from the most in need? |

| Message | Article 3 would increase the minimum wage, not decrease it. The proposed value would support a family of four above the poverty line, while the current lets a single worker live somewhat comfortably. |
