Bill: Living Wage Reform Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Vereinigte Sozialistische Volkspartei
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: December 4343
Description[?]:
| Recognizing that under current law the government only mandates that workers receive subsistence wages, and recognizing that the government has a moral obligation to give workers fair wages and that workers with more disposable income contribute more to society and the economy, this bill would raise the minimum wage to become a true living wage for all workers. |
