| Date | 19:24:25, January 01, 2006 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the JLP Economic Enhancement Act of 2164 |
| Message | The AAS opposes all three articles: 1) The AAS sees no good reason why our youth MUST remain in COMPULSARY education, past the age of 16. Our curricula are designed to give a comprehensive education by the age of 16, and many Likatonian youths are ready to enter industry and commerce at that point. We see no reason why those who WISH to work, should be contained in classrooms. 2) The AAS is automatically wary of any situation that calls for 'self-regulation'. We read it as equating to 'no regulation'. 3) All workers must have a right to strike, but SOME workers operate in industries where it is far MORE important that they maintain a service, than any 'industrial action' they might wish to carry out. Examples would be our police force, our army, our hospital services, our water industry, and power supply. People must not be allowed to die, just because Power Plant staff want to renegotiate their retirement packages. |
