Details
Submitted by[?]: Vereinigt Dorvik
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.

Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker, Current provisions for a minimum wage will bankrupt our corporations and make our industries uncompetitive! United Dorvik does not believe in subsistance for a wage, but we believe we can come to a fair compromise of what would be considered a fair "living wage". |
