Details

Status[?]: passed

Voting deadline: September 4165
Description[?]:
| We believe children should be allowed to have small jobs. The government seems unaware what having child labour legal but with additional regulation to that of an adult labourer actually means; they think this means a form of slavery, they think this means a return to the workhouses of old. No, what this actually means is very, very different. This means basic jobs such as a paper round, stacking shelves in a newsagents and so forth. Legally, a child is anyone up to the age of eighteen, this means teenagers in a summer break cannot get a holiday job anymore thanks to the government and their ridiculously overly cautious attitude. This simply needs to stop, the State Council is in urgent need of a booster shot of common sense! Thanks to outright banning child labour, it is no longer legal for a child to do a paper round, and it is no longer legal for a sixteen year old to work behind the till at a convenience store. We must repeal these highly restrictive laws and allow minors to have regulated jobs! |

| Message | We would only support if the government did some regulation and released a list of jobs children can do Nick Hochmeister, LAP Leader and State Chancellor |

| Message | Mr. Hockmeister, Making a list for all jobs children can do is almost impossible. There are a lot of jobs and even more variations on those jobs. (OOC: for us, players of a game, it is difficult tot make such a long list.) What government can do, is making a list with conditions. No jobs classified as high intensive. No jobs classified as high responsibility. Maximum workingtime 8 hours. (Is adjustable) The job may not intervene with school. This list is open for discussion and modification. Erwin Heck, chairman of the Libertären Partei. |
