Bill: Industry Reform

Details

Status[?]: defeated

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: September 3733

Description[?]:

Mr Speaker,

We don't believe that the state shall regulate the industry too much. We therefor suggest a bill which loosens the government's grasp on three different areas; child labor, industrial hemp production and the right to intervene in the business of the unions and the employers.

MessageMadam Speaker:

I cannot even begin to comprehend how anyone seeking to improve the lives of the people of this nation would think that legalisation of Child Labour, and removal of the minimum would be a beneficial idea. Not only has child labour plagued the conscience of humanity, but it has not benefitted anyone besides the corporate employers. The same goes for removal of the minimum wage. No one will benefit besides the corporations. We must unite together and bring this destructive bill to its knees.

MessageMadam Speaker,

We do not wish that minors become slaves or anything like that; they are gonna work with a lot more restrictions than adult workers and when has a little work hurt anyone? Never. Minors should of course be able to work a few hours a week so that they can uphold the social activities they do in their sparetime. It is as some would call it a "no brainer".

And regarding the removal of the minimum salary; we do not believe that state should meddle in the business of the unions and the employers. They are after all the experts regarding salaries, working hours and so on - not we. This is why we would like to make the best decisions regarding the unions an employers, which is making fewer decisions and letting them have more to say. Even a socialist party should agree to that.

MessageMadam Speaker,

The removal of minimum wage is a ridiculous assertion by doing so you would allow a large part of the Hutorian population to fall beneath the poverty line which is unacceptable. As for what Businesses know best that would be profit and allowing them to make more is the lowering of wages which with little to no government oversight the certainly would do.

MessageMadam Speaker,

This is false. The unions will take much better care of the working force than the government ever will. They have all sorts of tools to accomplish a socially balanced minimum wage. These tools can however become better. But nevertheless; an abolishment of the minimum wage will certainly be beneficial for our nation's workers as well as industry.

MessageMadam Speaker:

The gentleman seems to assume that unions are 100% successful in their fights with big business. The minimum wage provides a safety net for when unions are unsuccessful. Furthermore, the existence of a minimum wage in no way hinders the ability of the unions to negotiate better wages for workers. In essence, the removal of the minimum wage is BEYOND ludicrous and is extremely counter productive in improving workers rights.

MessageMadam Speaker,

We must make it easier for unions to fight the employers, that's for sure. But we have all the confident in the world that unions fight as hard as they can for real results. It would just create a lot more flexible system. For instance the current law is such an overkill. A single person living on the minimum wage earns a lot compared to what he - perhaps - should. He only has to take care of himself, but gets enough money to take care of three others. This could be done so much smarter - and more reasonable for the employers if the unions and employers took care of this without state meddling.
