Bill: Bill to Allow Poor Families to Augment their Income
Details
Submitted by[?]: Radical 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: December 3316
Description[?]:
| The Radical Party supports protection against exploitation for all children, however the current outright ban on employment for those under the age of 18 presents a problem for the poorest families who need as many sources of income as they can get. We propose allowing those aged 16-18 to work a small number of hours a week provided that it does not interfere with education or present an attractive alternative to education for those aged 16-18. |

| Message | We wish to emphasise that under our current law a person continues to be a child until the age of 18 & that this law would still forbid those 13 & under from seeking employment. We seek the opinions of other parties on what further checks should be included. |
| Date | 22:33:36, June 07, 2012 CET | From | Party of the Aldegarians - Nationalists | To | Debating the Bill to Allow Poor Families to Augment their Income |
| Message | We strongly oppose allowing children under the age of 16 to work, children between 16 and 18 could be allowed to work a few hours a day but ideally they should be encouraged to seek higher education. |

We are all FIRST CLASS people, regardless of whether we are rich or poor and can afford or not afford to pay for a more expensive seat. From now on, all seats on trains, buses, trams, planes and so on shall be the SAME.
